Linux 6.2-rc8

The 6.2 series continues to be fairly calm, and the only real reason

for an rc8 is - as now mentioned several times - just to make up for

some time during the holiday season. Not that we seem to really have

needed it, but there was also no real reason to deviate from the plan.

So here we are. And we did have a few late regression fixes, and a

couple still pending that will hopefully make it during next week, so

absolutely no harm done.

Most of the discussion I see seems to have already been about future

stuff, and I also already have one pull request for the next merge

window in my inbox (and I won't mind more if they show up). But in the

meantime we did have a scattering of the usual fixes, with networking,

GPU and sound drivers being the most noticeable. As is usual.

But there's other fixes in there too - both smaller driver subsystems

and to various other code. See the shortlog below for details.

The Register:

> In late January, Torvalds rated release candidate five as "fairly sizable" due to "pent up testing and fixes from people being off."

> He therefore flagged his intention to extend this kernel development cycle beyond his preferred seven release candidates.
