Soon, setup_data will contain information on passed-through platform
UARTs. This requires some preparational work for the sanity check of the
header and the check of the version.
Use the following strategy:
1. Ensure that the header declares at least enough space for the
version and the compatible_version as it must hold that fields for
any version. The location and semantics of header+version fields
will never change.
2. Copy over data -- as much as as possible. The length is either
limited by the header length or the length of setup_data.
3. Things are now in place -- sanity check if the header length
complies the actual version.
For future versions of the setup_data, only step 3 requires alignment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
