[For future reference, if you're going to CC me on most of a patch series, I'd really rather get the whole thing so I don't have to go looking for it.] >From a quick look, it seems like a reasonable RST conversion to me. I do wonder if sysfs.txt should just be removed, since it documents something we don't want people to use at this point? Historical purposes are well served by the repository history. I'd say changing the headings is worthwhile if it produces a better result. OTOH I'd be wary of adding too much "polish"; we really want to retain the readability of the plain-text files. Anyway, I'm happy to take these through the docs tree or see them go via GPIO; Linus, what's your preference?
