Merge tag 'docs-6.10' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"Another not-too-busy cycle for documentation, including:
- Some build-system changes to detect the variable fonts installed by
some distributions that can break the PDF build.
- Various updates and additions to the Spanish, Chinese, Italian, and
Japanese translations.
- Update the stable-kernel rules to match modern practice
... and the usual array of corrections, updates, and typo fixes"
