Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Documentation: Fix issues with Oxford Semiconductor PCIe
 (Tornado) 950

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.
