Merge tag 'docs-6.7' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"The number of commits for documentation is not huge this time around,
but there are some significant changes nonetheless:
- Some more Spanish-language and Chinese translations
- The much-discussed documentation of the confidential-computing
threat model
- Powerpc and RISCV documentation move under Documentation/arch -
these complete this particular bit of documentation churn
- A large traditional-Chinese documentation update
- A new document on backporting and conflict resolution
- Some kernel-doc and Sphinx fixes
Plus the usual smattering of smaller updates and typo fixes"
