Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This was a moderately busy cycle for documentation, but nothing
all that earth-shaking:

- More Chinese translations, and an update to the Italian
translations.

The Japanese, Korean, and traditional Chinese translations
are more-or-less unmaintained at this point, instead.

- Some build-system performance improvements.

- The removal of the archaic submitting-drivers.rst document,
with the movement of what useful material that remained into
other docs.

- Improvements to sphinx-pre-install to, hopefully, give more
useful suggestions.

- A number of build-warning fixes

Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, updates, and more"

Merge branch 'submitting-drivers-removal' into docs-next

Lukas Bulwahn says:

Here is an attempt to delete submitting-drivers with some improvements
and clean-up in other documentation places to convince ourselves that
nothing valuable is lost when deleting this checklist.

Patch 1, 2 and 3 is just basic clean-up before adding a new reference
(see Patch 4). Patch 4 adds the one reference from submitting-drivers,
not already mentioned elsewhere in the repository. Patch 5 updates a
confusing statement in devices.rst from earlier .txt/.tex distinction
times to the new state now with Sphinx & .rst.

Patch 6 finally deletes the outdated document, with a cross-check what is
covered elsewhere and few open questions (see below).

Patch 7 and 8 have been reworked with the native-speaking doc
maintainers; they cause no new warnings and are ready to pick,

Patch 9 to 11 are weak attempts to adjust the translation, but they need
to be taken further by others due to my lack of knowledge on the other
languages. They would currently also cause new warnings in the doc-build
right now. They should not be picked if there is no one to continue to
adjust the text and fix the warnings on broken references.

Additionally, this branch includes a translation fix from Alex Shi.

docs: process: remove outdated submitting-drivers.rst

Commit 31b24bee3357 ("docs: add a warning to submitting-drivers.rst")
in October 2016 already warns "This (...) should maybe just be deleted,
but I'm not quite ready to do that yet".

Maybe, six years ago, we were not ready but let us remove old content
for the better now and structure and maintain less content in the kernel
documentation with a better result.

Drop this already outdated document and adjust all textual references.

Here is an argument why deleting the content will not remove any useful
information to the existing kernel documentation, individually broken down
for each section.

Section "Allocating Device Numbers" refers to https://www.lanana.org/, and
then refers to Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst.

However, the devices.rst clearly states:

"The version of this document at lanana.org is no longer maintained."

Everything needed for submitting drivers is already stated in devices.rst
and the reference to https://www.lanana.org/ is outdated, and should be
just deleted.

Section "Who To Submit Drivers To" is all about Linux 2.0 - 2.6, before
the new release version scheme; the mentioned developers are still around,
but actually not the first developers to contact anymore.

Section "What Criteria Determine Acceptance" has a few bullet points:

Licensing and Copyright is well-covered in process/kernel-license.rst.

Interfaces, Code, Portability, Clarity state some obvious things about
ensuring kernel code quality.

Control suggests to add a MAINTAINERS entry, which is already mentioned in
6.Followthrough.rst: "... added yourself to the MAINTAINERS file..."

PM support states a bit about implementing and testing power management of
a driver, it remains an open question where to place that in the process
documents. Driver developers interested in power management will find the
corresponding part on power management in the kernel documentation anyway.

In section "What Criteria Do Not Determine Acceptance", the points Vendor
and Author states something basic consequence of the kernel being an
open-source community software development. Probably no need to mention it
nowadays.

Section "Resources" lists resources that are also mentioned elsewhere more
central.
