See the message and the thread it belongs at:

It happened in 2019 responding to Mauro's attempt to conversion of
LKMM docs.
I haven't see any change in sentiment among LKMM maintainers since.
Your way forward would be to keep those .txt files *pure plain text"
and to convert them on-the-fly into reST. Of course only if such an
effort sounds worthwhile to you.
Another approach might be to include those docs literally.
Similar approach has applied to
Documentation/
atomic_t.txt
atomic_bitops.txt
memory-barriers.txt
