Andy Lutomirski ff5350a86b nvme: Adjust the Samsung APST quirk
I got a couple more reports: the Samsung APST issues appears to
affect multiple 950-series devices in Dell XPS 15 9550 and Precision
5510 laptops.  Change the quirk: rather than blacklisting the
firmware on the first problematic SSD that was reported, disable
APST on all 144d:a802 devices if they're installed in the two
affected Dell models.  While we're at it, disable only the deepest
sleep state instead of all of them -- the reporters say that this is
sufficient to fix the problem.

(I have a device that appears to be entirely identical to one of the
affected devices, but I have a different Dell laptop, so it's not
the case that all Samsung devices with firmware BXW75D0Q are broken
under all circumstances.)

Samsung engineers have an affected system, and hopefully they'll
give us a better workaround some time soon.  In the mean time, this
should minimize regressions.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
