Merge tag 'docs-6.13-2' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull more documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A few late-arriving fixes, plus two more significant changes that were
*almost* ready at the beginning of the merge window:
- A new document on debugging techniques from Sebastian Fricke
- A clarification on MODULE_LICENSE terms meant to head off the sort
of confusion that led to the recent Tuxedo Computers mess"
