Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Pull HID fixes from Jiri Kosina:
"A regression fix for handling Logitech HID++ devices and memory
corruption fixes:
- regression fix (revert) for catch-all handling of Logitech HID++
Bluetooth devices; there are devices that turn out not to work with
this, and the root cause is yet to be properly understood. So we
are dropping it for now, and it will be revisited for 6.2 or 6.3
(Benjamin Tissoires)
- memory corruption fix in HID core (ZhangPeng)
- memory corruption fix in hid-lg4ff (Anastasia Belova)
- Kconfig fix for I2C_HID (Benjamin Tissoires)
- a few device-id specific quirks that piggy-back on top of the
important fixes above"

ARM: at91: fix build for SAMA5D3 w/o L2 cache
This reverts commit 532223c8ac57605a10e46dc0ab23dcf01c9acb43.
As reported in [0], hid-logitech-hidpp now binds on all bluetooth mice,
but there are corner cases where hid-logitech-hidpp just gives up on
the mouse. This leads the end user with a dead mouse.
Given that we are at -rc8, we are definitively too late to find a proper
fix. We already identified 2 issues less than 24 hours after the bug
report. One in that ->match() was never designed to be used anywhere else
than in hid-generic, and the other that hid-logitech-hidpp has corner
cases where it gives up on devices it is not supposed to.
So we have no choice but postpone this patch to the next kernel release.

It contains:

undefined reference to `outer_cache' if CONFIG_OUTER_CACHE is disabled

This reverts commit 8544c812e43ab7bdf40458411b83987b8cba924d.
We need to revert commit 532223c8ac57 ("HID: logitech-hidpp: Enable HID++
for all the Logitech Bluetooth devices") because that commit might make
hid-logitech-hidpp bind on mice that are not well enough supported by
hid-logitech-hidpp, and the end result is that the probe of those mice
is now returning -ENODEV, leaving the end user with a dead mouse.
Given that commit 8544c812e43a ("HID: logitech-hidpp: Remove special-casing
of Bluetooth devices") is a direct dependency of 532223c8ac57, revert it
too.
Note that this also adapt according to commit 908d325e1665 ("HID:
logitech-hidpp: Detect hi-res scrolling support") to re-add support of
the devices that were removed from that commit too.
I have locally an MX Master and I tested this device with that revert,
ensuring we still have high-res scrolling.
