   - Support reading the number of bitflips for BENAND (Built-in ECC NAND)
 * Macronix:
   - Add support for deep power down mode
   - Add support for block protection
 
 SPI-NAND core changes:

 SPI NOR core changes:
 * Move all the manufacturer specific quirks/code out of the core,
   to make the core logic more readable and thus ease maintenance.
 * Move the SFDP logic out of the core, it provides a better
   separation between the SFDP parsing and core logic.
 * Trim what is exposed in spi-nor.h. The SPI NOR controllers drivers
   must not be able to use structures that are meant just for the
   SPI NOR core.
 * Use the spi-mem direct mapping API to let advanced controllers
   optimize the read/write operations when they support direct mapping.
 * Add generic formula for the Status Register block protection
   handling. It fixes some long standing locking limitations and eases
   the addition of the 4bit block protection support.
 * Add block protection support for flashes with 4 block protection
   bits in the Status Register.
 
 SPI NOR controller drivers changes:
 * The mtk-quadspi driver is replaced by the new spi-mem spi-mtk-nor
   driver.
 * Merge tag 'mtk-mtd-spi-move' into spi-nor/next to avoid conflicts.
 
 HyperBus changes:
 * Print error msg when compatible is wrong or missing
 * Move mapping of direct access window from core to individual drivers

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.
