Not sure what docs you think need fixing (since I did update them).
Please see what is now staged in linux-next:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=dm-4.16&id=0aaa5aeed6921f65dc1e91e6d6ba43f4a8e1458e

But if you have an incremental patch to fix up something in
Documentation I'll gladly take it.

Thanks,
Mike
