    Documentation: riscv: add patch acceptance guidelines · 0e194d9d
    Paul Walmsley authored
    Formalize, in kernel documentation, the patch acceptance policy for
    arch/riscv.  In summary, it states that as maintainers, we plan to
    only accept patches for new modules or extensions that have been
    frozen or ratified by the RISC-V Foundation.
    
    We've been following these guidelines for the past few months.  In the
    meantime, we've received quite a bit of feedback that it would be
    helpful to have these guidelines formally documented.
    
    Based on a suggestion from Matthew Wilcox, we also add a link to this
    file to Documentation/process/index.rst, to make this document easier
    to find.  The format of this document has also been changed to align
    to the format outlined in the maintainer entry profiles, in accordance
    with comments from Jon Corbet and Dan Williams.
