It's Sunday afternoon, time for another -rc release.

Things look fairly normal for the rc5 timeframe, at least in number of

commits, and in the diffstat.

A bit over half the diff is drivers: GPU, rdma, iommu, networking,

sound, scsi... A little bit of everything.

The rest is the usual random fixes, with i2c doc updates standing out,

but also various DT updates, a few filesystem fixes (btrfs and erofs),

some core networking, and some tooling (perf and selftests).

Nothing looks particularly scary, so jump right in.
