Rejecting non-native endian BTF overlapped with the addition of support for it. The rest were more simple overlapping changes, except the renesas ravb binding update, which had to follow a file move as well as a YAML conversion. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

+ * stpcpy differs from strcpy in a key way: the return value is a pointer
+ * to the new %NUL-terminating character in @dest. (For strcpy, the return
+ * value is a pointer to the start of @dest). This interface is considered
+ * unsafe as it doesn't perform bounds checking of the inputs. As such it's
+ * not recommended for usage. Instead, its definition is provided in case
+ * the compiler lowers other libcalls to stpcpy.
