  Documentation/process: Update ARM contact for embargoed hardware issues (2022-05-10 19:10:16 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Driver core fixes for 5.18-rc7

Here is one fix, and 3 documentation updates for 5.18-rc7.

The fix is for the firmware loader which resolves a long-reported
problem where the credentials of the firmware loader could be set to a
userspace process without enough permissions to actually load the
firmware image.  Many Android vendors have been reporting this for quite
some time.

The documentation updates are for the embargoed-hardware-issues.rst file
to add a new entry, change an existing one, and sort the list to make
changes easier in the future.

All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.
