As discussed at:
	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/[e-mail]/

It is better to avoid using :doc:`foo` to refer to Documentation/foo.rst, as the
automarkup.py extension should handle it automatically, on most cases.

There are a couple of exceptions to this rule:

1. when :doc:  tag is used to point to a kernel-doc DOC: markup;
2. when it is used with a named tag, e. g. :doc:`some name <foo>`;

On this series:

Patch 1 manually adjust the references inside driver-api/pm/devices.rst,
as there it uses :file:`foo` to refer to some Documentation/ files;

Patch 2 converts a table at Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/index.rst
into a list, carefully avoiding the 

The remaining patches convert the other occurrences via a replace script.
They were manually edited, in order to honour 80-columns where possible.

This series based on docs-next branch. In order to avoid merge conflicts,
I rebased it internally against yesterday's linux-next, dropping a patch
and a hunk that would have caused conflicts there.

I'll re-send the remaining patch (plus another patch) with conflicting
changes, together with any other doc:`filename` reference that might
still be upstream by 5.14-rc1.

---

v2:
   - dropped media patches (as I merged via my own tree);
   - removed one patch that would conflict at linux-next (adm1177.rst);
   - removed one hunk fron kunit patch that would also conflict at
     linux-next.

I've applied the set, thanks.
