--- Patch [1]: [PATCH v5 1/1] Documentation: real-time: Add kernel configuration guide ---
commit fc9a84c888f9e6c7081f477ffb83f1ff5bc1b0aa
Author: Ahmed S. Darwish <darwi@linutronix.de>

Documentation: real-time: Add kernel configuration guide
    
This commit adds a new kernel configuration guide for real-time systems,
detailing recommended Kconfig options. It lists options for CPU governors,
cpuidle, graphics, EFI, NO_HZ, and debugging features, explaining the
latency impacts for each.

> Add a summary at the end of the document warning users that there is a no
> "one size fits all solution" for configuring a real-time system.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but there is a typo in the commit message: "a no"
should probably just be "no".

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but there is a duplicated "and" in the sentence above.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but "enable" here should probably be "enabled".
