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.

Another day; another DSDT bug we need to workaround... Since commit ca876c74 ("gpiolib-acpi: make sure we trigger edge events at least once on boot") we call _AEI edge handlers at boot. In some rare cases this causes problems. One example of this is the Minix Neo Z83-4 mini PC, this device has a clear DSDT bug where it has some copy and pasted code for dealing with Micro USB-B connector host/device role switching, while the mini PC does not even have a micro-USB connector. This code, which should not be there, messes with the DDC data pin from the HDMI connector (switching it to GPIO mode) breaking HDMI support. To avoid problems like this, this commit adds a new gpiolib_acpi.run_edge_events_on_boot kernel commandline option, which allows disabling the running of _AEI edge event handlers at boot. The default value is -1/auto which uses a DMI based blacklist, the initial version of this blacklist contains the Neo Z83-4 fixing the HDMI breakage.
