Linus Torvalds deb879faa9 Merge tag 'drm-next-2025-12-05' of https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/kernel
Pull more drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "There was some additional intel code for color operations we wanted to
  land. However I discovered I missed a pull for the xe vfio driver
  which I had sorted into 6.20 in my brain, until Thomas mentioned it.

  This contains the xe vfio code, a bunch of xe fixes that were waiting
  and the i915 color management support. I'd like to include it as part
  of keeping the two main vendors on the same page and giving a good
  cross-driver experience for userspace when it starts using it.

  vfio:
   - add a vfio_pci variant driver for Intel

  xe/i915 display:
   - add plane color management support

  xe:
   - Add scope-based cleanup helper for runtime PM
   - vfio xe driver prerequisites and exports
   - fix vfio link error
   - Fix a memory leak
   - Fix a 64-bit division
   - vf migration fix
   - LRC pause fix"

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
