Merge tag 'docs/v6.17-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-docs into mauro
Mauro says: As discussed at: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250610101331.62ba466f@foz.lan/ changeset f061c9f7d058 ("Documentation: Document each netlink family") added a logic which generates *.rst files inside $(srctree). This is bad when O=<BUILDDIR> is used. A recent change renamed the yaml files used by Netlink, revealing a bad side effect: as "make cleandocs" don't clean the produced files and symbols appear duplicated for people that don't build the kernel from scratch. This series adds an yaml parser extension and uses an index file with glob for *. We opted to write such extension in a way that no actual yaml conversion code is inside it. This makes it flexible enough to handle other types of yaml files in the future. The actual yaml conversion logic were placed at netlink_yml_parser.py. As requested by YNL maintainers, this version has netlink_yml_parser.py inside tools/net/ynl/pyynl/ directory. I don't like mixing libraries with binaries, nor to have Python libraries spread all over the Kernel. IMO, the best is to put all of them on a common place (scripts/lib, python/lib, lib/python, ...) but, as this can be solved later, for now let's keep it this way.
