Alex Shi, Yanteng Si: what is the process to update the Chinese
documentation after changes to the English one, considering I don't
speak Chinese?

The documentation [0] seems to imply it will be done by you after the
English documentation update, is it the case?

Otherwise, for this simple change, I can add a patch that looks like a
somewhat correct one for Chinese:

@@ -523,9 +523,8 @@ clk结构体
 ::
 
 	%pC	pll1
-	%pCn	pll1
 
-用于打印clk结构。%pC 和 %pCn 打印时钟的名称(通用时钟框架)或唯一的32位
+用于打印clk结构。%pC 打印时钟的名称(通用时钟框架)或唯一的32位
 ID(传统时钟框架)。
 
 通过引用传递。

Can you confirm the above is a correct change?

Luca
