Merge tag 'docs-5.11' of git://git.lwn.net/linux 

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A much quieter cycle for documentation (happily), with, one hopes, the
  bulk of the churn behind us. Significant stuff in this pull includes:

   - A set of new Chinese translations

   - Italian translation updates

   - A mechanism from Mauro to automatically format
     Documentation/features for the built docs

   - Automatic cross references without explicit :ref: markup

   - A new reset-controller document

   - An extensive new document on reporting problems from Thorsten

  That last patch also adds the CC-BY-4.0 license to LICENSES/dual;
  there was some discussion on this, but we seem to have consensus and
  an ack from Greg for that addition"
