Merge tag 'docs-6.1' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"There's not a huge amount of activity in the docs tree this time
around, but a few significant changes even so:
- A complete rewriting of the top-level index.rst file, which mostly
reflects itself in a redone top page in the HTML-rendered docs. The
hope is that the new organization will be a friendlier starting
point for both users and developers.
- Some math-rendering improvements.
- A coding-style.rst update on the use of BUG() and WARN()
- A big maintainer-PHP guide update.
- Some code-of-conduct updates
- More Chinese translation work
Plus the usual pile of typo fixes, corrections, and updates"
