[PATCH 0/2] Documentation: Move rpmsg.rst and remoteproc.rst out of staging

[Daniel Baluta]

Try to find a better place for rpmsg.rst and remoteproc.rst files.
Having them in staging suggest that rpmsg / remoteproc are not mature
enough which is not true.

[PATCH 1/2] Documentation: Move rpmsg.rst and remoteproc.rst out of staging

[Daniel Baluta]

rpmsg.rst and remoteproc.rst are documentation files for
mature remoteproc and rpmsg systems in the Linux kernel
so their place is not under staging.

Move them to Documentation/driver-api to better reflect that.

I think "also a resident of ..." can be dropped, since it's redundant (it's
already covered in remoteproc.rst cross-reference which transforms into
the link when you build the docs).

Thanks.

My point here is just to move the patches to a better location without
any crucial modification.
I can send a follow up patch if this is fine with everyone.
