Merge tag 'docs-5.12' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It has been a relatively quiet cycle in docsland.
- As promised, the minimum Sphinx version to build the docs is now
1.7, and we have dropped support for Python 2 entirely. That
allowed the removal of a bunch of compatibility code.
- A set of treewide warning fixups from Mauro that I applied after it
became clear nobody else was going to deal with them.
- The automarkup mechanism can now create cross-references from
relative paths to RST files.
- More translations, typo fixes, and warning fixes"
