[PATCH 05/17] SubmitChecklist: update kernel-doc task

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Date: Wed Sep 14 2016 - 19:06:20 EST


Task 11 (kernel-doc) still mentions usage of make manpages, but
this won't work if the API is documented via Sphinx. So, update
it to use either htmldocs or pdfdocs, with are the documentation
targets that work for all.

While here, add ReST reference to the kernel documentation book.
