See the patches in the series. The reason for each particular case
is there on each patch, like on this one:

	[PATCH v3 13/16] docs: sound: kernel-api: writing-an-alsa-driver.rst: replace some characters

	The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/html/Markdown->ReST
	conversion and some cut-and-pasted text contain some characters that
	aren't easily reachable on standard keyboards and/or could cause
	troubles when parsed by the documentation build system.
	 
	Replace the occurences of the following characters:
	
		- U+00a0 ('?'): NO-BREAK SPACE
		  as it can cause lines being truncated on PDF output

	Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>


Thanks,
Mauro
