Changes since v1 [1]
- Drop inclusive-terminology.rst, it is in the lore archives if the
arguments are needed for future debates, but otherwise no pressing
need to carry it in the tree (Linus, James)

- Update the recommended terms to include replacement for 'master' and
'whitelist' (Kees, Andy)

- Add 'target' as a replacement (Andy)

- Add 'device' as a replacement (Mark)

- Collect acks and signed-off-bys. Yes, the sign-offs are not reflective
of a submission chain, but I kept "Signed-off-by" if people offered
it.


Dan,

Looks like you missed my Signed-off I sent for v1

Please add my Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
