Hi,
I just sent a patch for file name changes in
Documentation/input/ff.rst
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20210203050842.24190-1-rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u).

I sent it to the INPUT maintainer because I thought that he would
want to review the changes.

I could resend it to the DOCS maintainer.  :)
