Merge tag 'docs-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/docs/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It has been a not-too-busy cycle for docs; here's the highlights:
- A (hopefully) consensus change to our LLM-attribution requirements,
removing the specific model name from the Assisted-by tag
- A couple of new realtime documents
- Various docs-build-system fixes
- Ongoing work with the Chinese, Portuguese, and Japanese
translations
...and lots of typo fixes, grammar tweaks, etc"
