Merge tag 'docs-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/docs/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A slightly calmer cycle for docs this time around, though there is
still a fair amount going on, including:

- Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation

- Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for
patch submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption
by generative tools

- The completion of the move of the documentation tools to
tools/docs. For now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink
behind to avoid breaking scripts

- Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of
documentation in Python code, better support for documenting
variables, and lots of improvements and fixes

- Automatic linking of man-page references -- cat(1), for example --
to the online pages in the HTML build

...and the usual array of typo fixes and such"

docs: add AI Coding Assistants documentation

Add guidance for AI assistants and developers using AI tools for kernel
contributions, per the consensus reached at the 2025 Maintainers Summit.

Create Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst with detailed guidance
on licensing, Signed-off-by requirements, and attribution format. The
README points AI tools to this documentation.

This will allow coding assistants to easily parse these instructions and
comply with guidelines set by the community.
