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.

Newer versions of the Xilink DMA IP support busses with more than 32 address bits, by introducing an MSB word for the registers holding DMA pointers (tail/current, RX/TX descriptor addresses). On IP configured for more than 32 bits, it is also *required* to write both words, to let the IP recognise this as a start condition for an MM2S request, for instance. Wrap the DMA pointer writes with a separate function, to add this functionality later. For now we stick to the lower 32 bits. Signed-off-by:Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@arm.com> Signed-off-by:
