The change to binutils-2.30 missed one reference in the Documentation
that needs to be updated to match.

Commit a3e8fe814a ("x86/build: Raise the minimum GCC version to 8.1")
raised the minimum compiler version as enforced by Kbuild to gcc-8.1
and clang-15 for x86.
This is actually the same gcc version that has been discussed as the
minimum for all architectures several times in the past, with little
objection. A previous concern was the kernel for SLE15-SP7 needing to
be built with gcc-7. As this ended up still using linux-6.4 and there
is no plan for an SP8, this is no longer a problem.
Change it for all architectures and adjust the documentation accordingly.
A few version checks can be removed in the process. The binutils
version 2.30 is the lowest version used in combination with gcc-8 on
common distros, so use that as the corresponding minimum.

Commit fb12098d8e ("docs: submit-checklist: Allow creating
cross-references for ABI README") assumes that the path of
"Documentation/ABI/README" would be converted to a cross-ref to
the README.
However, as the README is included by the "kernel-abi" directive
at Documentation/admin-guide/abi.rst, the expected conversion
does not happen.
Instead, use the path where the "kernel-abi" directive exists for
the conversion to work. Restore the original path of README in
inline-literal form as an additional note for readers of the .rst
file.
Apply the same changes for translations.

The dontdiff file is a relic from the pre-Git era that has little use now.
It has entries (parse.c, for example) that will mask real changes to kernel
source files. There are all kinds of entries for files we do not create
anymore. Rather than try to fix it up, simply remove it.
Update the kernel documentation (and translations) to remove references to
this file. There is an ancient Japanese translation of SubmittingPatches
that I am unable to update; that really needs a thorough redo.

- removal of unused PCMCIA drivers (finally!)
- Interconnect driver updates and additions
- Lots of IIO driver updates and additions
- MHI driver updates
- Coresight driver updates
- NVMEM driver updates, which required some OF updates
- W1 driver updates and a new maintainer to manage the subsystem
- FPGA driver updates
- New driver subsystem, CDX, for AMD systems
- lots of other small driver updates and additions
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported

These char PCMCIA drivers are buggy[1] and receive only minimal care. It
was concluded[2], that we should try to remove most pcmcia drivers
completely. Let's start with these char broken one.
Note that I also removed a UAPI header: include/uapi/linux/cm4000_cs.h.
I found only coccinelle tests mentioning some ioctl constants from that
file. But they are not actually used. Anyway, should someone complain,
we may reintroduce the header (or its parts).

Here is the big set of driver core and debug printk changes for 6.1-rc1.
Included in here is:
- dynamic debug updates for the core and the drm subsystem. The
drm changes have all been acked by the relevant maintainers.
- kernfs fixes for syzbot reported problems
- kernfs refactors and updates for cgroup requirements
- magic number cleanups and removals from the kernel tree (they
were not being used and they really did not actually do
anything.)
- other tiny cleanups
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

At least not in the sense described here: it delineates UFS cylinder
groups, is never assigned, and the only macro that incorporates it
(ufs_cg_chkmagic; the second one is unused) is used to detect CGs and
protect from filesystem corruption

In fs/hfs, the only magic is for delineating on-disk block types,
of which HFS_DRVR_DESC_MAGIC HFS_MFS_SUPER_MAGIC are define-only,
but they're out of scope for magic-number.rst
Magic numbers as described there were all removed, along their defines,
in the 2.6.4 "HFS rewrite", pre-git

The last user was removed in 5.1 in
commit 08300f4402 ("a.out: remove core dumping support")
but this is part of the UAPI headers, so this may want to either wait
until a.out is removed entirely, or be removed from the magic number doc
and silently remain in the header
A cursory glance on DCS didn't show any user code actually using this
value

The entire file blames back to the start of git
(minus whitespace from the RST translation and a typo fix):
* there are changelog comments for March 1994 through to Linux 2.5.74
* struct tty_ldisc is two pointers nowadays, so naturally no magic
* GDA_MAGIC is defined but unused, and it's been this way
since start-of-git
* M3_CARD_MAGIC isn't defined, because
commit d56b9b9c46 ("[PATCH] The scheduled removal of some OSS
drivers") removed the entire driver in 2006
* CS_CARD_MAGIC likewise since
commit b5d425c97f ("more scheduled OSS driver removal") in 2007
* KMALLOC_MAGIC and VMALLOC_MAGIC were removed in
commit e38e0cfa48 ("[ALSA] Remove kmalloc wrappers"),
six months after start of git
* SLAB_C_MAGIC has never even appeared in git
(removed in 2.4.0-test3pre6)
magic-number.rst is a low-value historial relic at best and
misleading cruft at worst, so start with cleaning out ones that only
appear therein
