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
