Linux 7.2-rc1

So two weeks have passed, and the merge window is closed. Things look
reasonably normal for this release (knock wood), and I'm appending my
merge shortlog below, since we obviously have much to many changes to
list individually.

The stats look pretty normal, although another AMD header drop means
that a third of the patch is just various AMD GPU register
definitions.

That's not unusual in itself, and if you ignore that part the rest
looks pretty normal too: just over half the patch is drivers (even
when _not_ counting that AMD register dump, other GPU driver changes
show up, but we've got a little bit of everything in there), with the
rest being the usual spread of architecture updates, tooling,
documentation, and core kernel updates.

I'm going to take the next week mostly off, but I'm reading email and
keeping up with things. But I hope it's going to be a fairly calm
week. If I have longer latencies than usual, you'll know why.
