Subject: [PATCH v2] Documentation/process/howto: Update for 4.x -> 5.x versioning
Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2019 23:45:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1551023123-5031-1-git-send-email-zenghuiyu96@gmail.com> (raw)

As linux-5.0 is coming up soon, the howto.rst document can be
updated for the new kernel version. Change all 4.x references
to 5.x now.
