Merge tag 'i3c/for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/i3c/linuxgrafted
Pull I3C updates from Alexandre Belloni: "A new driver this cycle, for the AMD AXI I3C controller. There are also new features such as IBI wakeup support, SETAASA device discovery and ACPI support for the the DAA methods, meaning we can now communicate with the SPD devices on DDR5 modules. New driver: - AMD AXI I3C master controller Subsystem: - I3C Common Command Code (CCC) handling improvements, especially around GET CCCs - SETAASA device discovery support - ACPI support for all existing DAA methods like SETDASA, SETNEWDA as well as I2C devices on I3C bus - IBI-based wakeup support Drivers: - dw: SETAASA support - mipi-i3c-hci: advertise IBI wakeup capability, AMD_PT I3C controller support, PIO queue management support for HCI v1.2 - renesas: improve suspend to RAM support, add runtime PM support" * tag 'i3c/for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/i3c/linux: (70 commits) i3c: dw: reduce do_daa time if there's no client i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add support for AMD_PT I3C controller i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add PIO queue management support for HCI v1.2 i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Fix missing STAT_IBI_STATUS_THLD in PIO mode i3c: dw: rename "pclk" to "apb" to match dt-binding i3c: dw: make struct dw_i3c_cmd smaller i3c: dw: use COMMAND_PORT_TRANSFER_ARG instead of hardcoding i3c: renesas: Don't register devices when ENTDAA times out i3c: master: dw-i3c-master: fix OD timing for first broadcast i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Advertise IBI wakeup capability i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Factor out i3c_hci_sysdev() i3c: mipi-i3c-hci-pci: Propagate I3C wakeup requirements to PCI i3c: master: Reject IBI requests from non-IBI-capable devices i3c: master: Add helper to query bus wakeup requirements i3c: master: Report wakeup events for IBIs i3c: master: Support IBI-based wakeup capability i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_match() i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_uevent() i3c: Make dev->desc locking assumptions explicit i3c: master: Fix use-after-free of master->this ...

+# Contributing to `pin-init`
+
+Thanks for showing interest in contributing to `pin-init`! This document outlines the guidelines for
+contributing to `pin-init`.
+
+All contributions are double-licensed under Apache 2.0 and MIT. You can find the respective licenses
+in the `LICENSE-APACHE` and `LICENSE-MIT` files.
+
+## Non-Code Contributions
+
+### Bug Reports
+
+For any type of bug report, please submit an issue using the bug report issue template.
+
+If the issue is a soundness issue, please privately report it as a security vulnerability via the
+GitHub web interface.
+
+### Feature Requests
+
+If you have any feature requests, please submit an issue using the feature request issue template.
+
+### Questions and Getting Help
+
+You can ask questions in the Discussions page of the GitHub repository. If you're encountering
+problems or just have questions related to `pin-init` in the Linux kernel, you can also ask your
+questions in the [Rust-for-Linux Zulip](https://rust-for-linux.zulipchat.com/) or see
+<https://rust-for-linux.com/contact>.
+
+## Contributing Code
+
+### Linux Kernel
+
+`pin-init` is used by the Linux kernel and all commits are synchronized to it. For this reason, the
+same requirements for commits apply to `pin-init`. See [the kernel's documentation] for details. The
+rest of this document will also cover some of the rules listed there and additional ones.
+
+[the kernel's documentation]: https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html
+
+Contributions to `pin-init` ideally go through the [GitHub repository], because that repository runs
+a CI with lots of tests not present in the kernel. However, patches are also accepted (though not
+preferred). Do note that there are some files that are only present in the GitHub repository such as
+tests, licenses and cargo related files. Making changes to them can only happen via GitHub.
+
+[GitHub repository]: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/pin-init
+
+### Commit Style
+
+Everything must compile without errors or warnings and all tests must pass after **every commit**.
+This is important for bisection and also required by the kernel.
+
+Each commit should be a single, logically cohesive change. Of course it's best to keep the changes
+small and digestible, but logically linked changes should be made in the same commit. For example,
+when fixing typos, create a single commit that fixes all of them instead of one commit per typo.
+
+Commits must have a meaningful commit title. Commits with changes to files in the `internal`
+directory should have a title prefixed with `internal:`. The commit message should explain the
+change and its rationale. You also have to add your `Signed-off-by` tag, see [Developer's
+Certificate of Origin]. This has to be done for both mailing list submissions as well as GitHub
+submissions.
+
+[Developer's Certificate of Origin]: https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin
+
+Any changes made to public APIs must be documented not only in the commit message, but also in the
+`CHANGELOG.md` file. This is especially important for breaking changes, as those warrant a major
+version bump.
+
+If you make changes to the top-level crate documentation, you also need to update the `README.md`
+via `cargo rdme`.
+
+Some of these rules can be ignored if the change is done solely to files that are not present in the
+kernel version of this library. Those files are documented in the `sync-kernel.sh` script at the
+very bottom in the `--exclude` flag given to the `git am` command.
