Hi,

 Here are fixes for the Sphinx processing warnings reported with `make 
htmldocs' for the description of the Oxford Semiconductor PCIe (Tornado) 
950 driver recently added.  I have split them into two parts so that they 
can be considered separately.

 First, Documentation/tty/ has been moved to driver-api, which I find not 
suitable for user documentation, so I have now moved the description to 
Documentation/misc-devices/.  I found no better place, but I can update 
the change again if you have a better suggestion.

 Second, actual warnings have been removed.  I have corrected quoting for 
symbol/parameter references, quoted tables and rewritten bibligraphy in
Sphinx's style.

 Third, the document has now been wired into the misc-devices document, so 
that it is not an orphan page in the HTML format anymore and it is also 
included in PDF documentation.

 I have verified the result and considered it visually sound with output 
produced by `make htmldocs' and `make pdfdocs'.

 For the latter command however I need to note that several other 
documents in our Documentation/ tree suffer from a problem that causes 
`make pdfdocs' to fail (and the failure cannot be worked around with 
make's `-k -i' options, i.e. no output is ever produced), e.g.:

Markup is unsupported in LaTeX:
filesystems/9p:: nested tables are not yet implemented.

and similarly for: filesystems/erofs, filesystems/f2fs, filesystems/ntfs, 
networking/device_drivers/ethernet/dlink/dl2k, scsi/arcmsr_spec, 
scsi/g_NCR5380, scsi/ncr53c8xx, and scsi/sym53c8xx_2.  I don't know if it 
is a known problem, possibly addressed in a newer version of tools, so 
I've thought it might be worth reporting.

 I have worked around the problem by removing the offending files, which 
let `make pdfdocs' proceed to completion.  I have spotted another problem 
there then in that the table of contents is only generated in the output 
file produced upon the second or subsequent invocations of `make pdfdocs'.  
Similarly bibligraphy links (but not the list itself).  Upon the first run 
of `make pdfdocs' on a clean Documentation/ tree the Contents section only 
has its heading and bibligraphy links are dead with `[?]' showing (the 
section is correctly populated however).  It's not clear to me if this is 
a bug in the tools used or something wrong with our Makefile system, so 
again I've thought it might be worth reporting.

 NB XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99999 (TeX Live 2019/dev/Debian) and 
Sphinx 1.8.4 here.

 The issues are not directly related to the changes proposed here though,
so please apply them.

As mentioned in the section titled "PDF and LaTeX builds" in
Documentation/doc-guide/sphinx.rst, "make pdfdocs" requires Sphinx 2.4 or
later.

Another hint for you.

You can say "make SPHINXDIRS=<sub dir> htmldocs pdfdocs" to
test-build docs under Documentation/<sub dir>/.
You might see false warnings of "WARNING: undefined label: ..."
which you wouldn't see in full builds, though.

Hope this helps.

I see there is no mention of the SPHINXDIRS make variable in the
doc-guide.  I'll see it can be explained somewhere in sphinx.rst.

        Thanks, Akira

 Ack, noted.  Note however that Documentation/Changes says:

Sphinx\ [#f1]_         1.7              sphinx-build --version
====================== ===============  ========================================
.. [#f1] Sphinx is needed only to build the Kernel documentation

Perhaps the additional requirement could be mentioned in the footnote?

[Also this is a production system and 1.8.4 is the only version available 
in the distribution it has installed, so I may not be able to upgrade for 
the foreseeable future anyway.]

 Sure, thanks a lot!
