Merge tag 'asoc-fix-v6.19-rc1' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-linus

ASoC: Fixes for v6.19

We've been quite busy with fixes since the merge window, though not in
any particularly exciting ways - the standout thing is the fix for _SX
controls which were broken by a change to how we do clamping, otherwise
it's all fairly run of the mill fixes and quirks.

scripts: documentation-file-ref-check: ignore hidden files

There's a warning there from a .gitignore file:

tools/perf/.gitignore: Documentation/doc.dep

This is not really a cross-reference type of warning, so
no need to report it.

In a matter of fact, it doesn't make sense at all to even
parse hidden files, as some text editors may create such
files for their own usage.

So, just ignore everything that matches this pattern:

Excluding that, we have the usual driver updates (qla2xxx, ufs, lpfc,

some other minor updates.

The major core change is Hannes moving functions out of the aacraid

There are some issues at the script with regards to :doc:
tags:

- It doesn't escape files under Documentation/sphinx,
leading to false positives;
- It doesn't handle root URLs, like :doc:`/x86/boot`;
- It doesn't output the file with a bad reference.

docs: target: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

Convert the TCM docs to ReST format and add them to the
bookset.

This has a mix of userspace-faced and Kernelspace faced
docs. Still, it sounds a better candidate to be added at
the kernel API set of docs.

The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

scripts/documentation-file-ref-check: exclude false-positives

There are at least two cases where a documentation file was gone
for good, but the text still mentions it:

1) drivers/vhost/vhost.c:
the reference for Documentation/virtual/lguest/lguest.c is just
to give credits to the original work that vhost replaced;

2) Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt:
It gives credit and mentions the old Documentation/Configure.help
file that used to be part of Kernel 2.4.x

As we don't want to keep the script to keep pinpoint to those
every time, let's add a logic at the script to allow it to ignore
valid false-positives like the above.
