Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:
- A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.
- A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.
- Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
will never understand, were of the opinion that
:c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.
- We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.
- Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

Internal helper function gpiod_set_array_value_complex() was changed to
return an error value, but not all gpiolib callers were updated to
propagate the new error up.

The return type of gpiod_set_raw_array_value() and
gpiod_set_raw_array_value_cansleep() was changed from void to int, but
the doc update was forgotten.

Certain GPIO descriptor arrays returned by gpio_get_array() may contain
information on direct mapping of array members to pins of a single GPIO
chip in hardware order. In such cases, bitmaps of values can be passed
directly from/to the chip's .get/set_multiple() callbacks without
wasting time on iterations.
Add respective code to gpiod_get/set_array_bitmap_complex() functions.
Pins not applicable for fast path are processed as before, skipping
over the 'fast' ones.

Certain GPIO array lookup results may map directly to GPIO pins of a
single GPIO chip in hardware order. If that condition is recognized
and handled efficiently, significant performance gain of get/set array
functions may be possible.
While processing a request for an array of GPIO descriptors, identify
those which represent corresponding pins of a single GPIO chip. Skip
over pins which require open source or open drain special processing.
Moreover, identify pins which require inversion. Pass a pointer to
that information with the array to the caller so it can benefit from
enhanced performance as soon as get/set array functions can accept and
make efficient use of it.

builds cleanly as ReST.
