So this fell through the cracks during my May travel, sorry.

I've taken a look at it now ... it adds a vast number of build warnings:

Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/rt_addr.rst:28: WARNING: duplicate label rt-addr-operation-newaddr, other instance in /stuff/k/git/kernel/Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/rt-addr.rst
Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/rt_addr.rst:41: WARNING: duplicate label rt-addr-operation-deladdr, other instance in /stuff/k/git/kernel/Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/rt-addr.rst
Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/rt_addr.rst:54: WARNING: duplicate label rt-addr-operation-getaddr, other instance in /stuff/k/git/kernel/Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/rt-addr.rst
[...]

I haven't had a chance to figure out *why* it would have this particular
bizarre effect...
