<content type='text'>
commit e65cb011349e653ded541dddd6469c2ca813edcf upstream.

The _CRS resources in many cases want to have ResourceSource field
to be a type of ACPI String. This means that to compile properly
we need to enclosure the name path into double quotes. This will
in practice defer the interpretation to a run-time stage, However,
this may be interpreted differently on different OSes and ACPI
interpreter implementations. In particular ACPICA might not correctly
recognize the leading '^' (caret) character and will not resolve
the relative name path properly. On top of that, this piece may be
used in SSDTs which are loaded after the DSDT and on itself may also
not resolve relative name paths outside of their own scopes.
With this all said, fix documentation to use fully-qualified name
paths always to avoid any misinterpretations, which is proven to
work.

Fixes: 8eb5c87a92c0 ("i2c: add ACPI support for I2C mux ports")

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "Documentation work keeps chugging along; this includes:

   - Work from Carlos Bilbao to integrate rustdoc output into the
     generated HTML documentation. This took some work to figure out how
     to do it without slowing the docs build and without creating people
     who don't have Rust installed, but Carlos got there

   - Move the loongarch and mips architecture documentation under
     Documentation/arch/

   - Some more maintainer documentation from Jakub

  ... plus the usual assortment of updates, translations, and fixes"

<title>ACPI: OSI: Update Documentation on custom _OSI strings</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2f190ac250b32c201bc0046d9c2a6f7acdc5c362</id>
<content type='text'>
Originally, when there was some custom ASL needed for Linux, the
guidance for Linux-friendly OEMs was to introduced a new string in the
APCI tables and discuss it on the kernel mailing lists.

This lead to 3 strings being introduced.  Those strings now have the
original problems fixed in the kernel and have since been removed.
The kernel no longer advertises any custom Linux-* _OSI strings for
OEM use.

It was discovered that these removed strings were actually being abused
to detect Linux for unrelated reasons, so drop the encouragement for
new ones to be added.
