Merge tag 'docs-4.9' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "This is the documentation update pull for the 4.9 merge window.

  The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work. Here we
  have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution,
  thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.

  I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the
  old device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book. Both are meant
  to show how we can integrate together our existing documentation into
  a more coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff
  around and formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it.
  The good news is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files
  are *almost* in RST format already; the amount of messing around
  required is minimal.

  And, of course, there's the usual set of updates, typo fixes, and
  more"
