The documentation for gen_init_cpio mentions to invoke the tool with
'--help' flag for showing directive file format information. However,
only the short name variant '-h' is implemented. Invoking the tool with
the long name returns invalid option message and sets an error code.

State explicitly that holding a /proc/pid file descriptor open does
not reserve the PID. Also note that in the event of PID reuse, these
open file descriptors refer to the old, now-dead process, and not the
new one that happens to be named the same numeric PID.

Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth:

  | Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more
  | formal, and "while" is the common word.
  |
  | [...]
  |
  | Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to
  | use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never

dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is
probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation.

Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".

The previous version made it necessary to first generate an
EDID data set without correct CRC and then to fix the CRC in

makefile in such a way that a correct EDID data set is generated
in a single build step. Successfully tested with all existing
and a couple of new data sets.

The problem was found when EDID data sets for displays other
than the provided samples were generated. The patch has
no effect on the provided samples that still match the data
used in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c.

The provided samples use small values for XOFFSET, XPULSE,
YOFFSET and YPULSE, where the error doesn't occur. This fix
corrects the use of that values in case of high values, because
the most significant bits were treated incorrectly.

So in edid.S msbs4 should use bit 8 and 9 of XOFFSET and XPULS.
For YOFFSET and YPULSE msbs4 should use bit 4 and 5.

lsbs2 was introduced for a better overview, without
functional change.

Removing also the useless value 63 of all files, because
it is added in the *.S description files and then it is
subtracted in edid.S.
