Right now, if one uses "--rst" instead of "-rst", it just
ignore the argument and produces a man page. Change the
logic to accept both "-cmd" and "--cmd". Also, if
"cmd" doesn't exist, print the usage information and exit.

Since there isn't any docbook code anymore upstream,
we can get rid of several output formats:
- docbook/xml, html, html5 and list formats were used by
the old build system;
- As ReST is text, there's not much sense on outputting
on a different text format.
After this patch, only man and rst output formats are
supported.

There is a mess on this chapter: it suggests that even

ftrace-uses.rst is not yet included into any toctree, but since it is
a .rst file, it is parsed by the Sphinx build. Thats, why we see some
WARNINGS:
- trace/ftrace-uses.rst:53: WARNING: Definition list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
- trace/ftrace-uses.rst:89: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
- trace/ftrace-uses.rst:89: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-strin
Fixing the code-block directives results in a less noisy build, but the 'not

`Documentation/i2c/dev-interface` gives examples for accessing i2c from
userspace.
There's a note that warns developers about the two `i2c-dev.h` header
files which were shipped with the kernel and i2c-tools separately.
However, following i2c-tools commits suggest that the header files are now
identical (in functionality) and `i2c_*` helper functions are now defined
in a separate header called `i2c/smbus.h`, which is distributed with
i2c-tools:
commit 652619121974 ("Minimize differences with kernel flavor")
commit 93caf007f4cb ("Move SMBus helper functions to include/i2c/smbus.h")
Thus, I've converted the warning paragraph into a historical note and
updated the suggested header files.

Onewire devices has 6 byte long unique serial numbers, 1 byte family
code and 1 byte CRC. Linux sysfs presents the device folder in the
form of familyID-deviceID, so CRC is not shown. The consequence is
that the device serial number is always a 12 long hex-string, but
doc says 13 in one place. This is corrected by this change.

Documentation/printk-formats.txt is a candidate for conversion to
ReStructuredText format. Some effort has already been made to do this
conversion even thought the suffix is currently .txt
Changes required to complete conversion
- Move printk-formats.txt to core-api/printk-formats.rst
- Add entry to Documentation/core-api/index.rst
- Remove entry from Documentation/00-INDEX
- Fix minor grammatical errors.
- Order heading adornments as suggested by rst docs.
- Use 'Passed by reference' uniformly.
- Update pointer documentation around %px specifier.
- Fix erroneous double backticks (to commas).
- Remove extraneous double backticks (suggested by Jonathan Corbet).
- Simplify documentation for kobject.

This warning will happen for every normal kernel docs build and doesn't
carry any useful information. Should anybody actually depend on this
"version" variable (which isn't clear to me), the "unknown version" value
will be clue enough.
