docs: ABI: stable: make files ReST compatibleSeveral entries at the stable ABI files won't parse if we passthem directly to the ReST output.Adjust them, in order to allow adding their contents as-is atthe stable ABI book.Acked-by: Srinivas Kandagatla Acked-by: Jonathan Corbet Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/467a0dfbcdf00db710a629d3fe4a2563750339d8.1604042072.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux-6.15/Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-devices

documentation: drivers/core/of: fix name of of_node symlinkcommit 5590f3196b29 ("drivers/core/of: Add symlink to device-tree fromdevices with an OF node") added a symlink called "of_node" to sysfshowever the documentation describes it as "of_path".Fix the documentation to match what the code actually does.Signed-off-by: Martin Fuzzey Acked-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux-6.15/Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-devices

5590f319 - drivers/core/of: Add symlink to device-tree from devices with an OF node

Wed, 18 Feb 2015 00:25:18 +0000

drivers/core/of: Add symlink to device-tree from devices with an OF nodeSo I've been annoyed lately with having a bunch of devices such as i2ceeproms (for use by VPDs, server world !) and other bits and pieces thatI want to be able to identify from userspace, and possibly provideadditional data about from FW.Basically, it boils down to correlating the sysfs device with the OFtree device node, so that user space can use device-tree info such asadditional "location" or "label" (or whatever else we can come up with)propreties to identify a given device, or get some attributes of useabout it, etc...Now, so far, we've done that in some subsystem in a fairly ad-hoc basisusing "devspec" properties. For example, PCI creates them if it cancorrelate the probed device with a DT node. Some powerpc specific bussesdo that too.However, i2c doesn't and it would be nice to have something more genericsince technically any device can have a corresponding device tree node.This patch adds an "of_node" symlink to devices that have a non-NULLdev->of_node pointer, the patch is pretty trivial and seems to work justfine for me.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Acked-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux-6.15/Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-devices
