Re: [PATCH] docs/dev-tools: fix a broken URL in dev-tools/coccinelle.rst

[Nicolas Palix <nicolas.palix@imag.fr>]

Hi,

Maybe we can just throw away that section of "Supplemental 
documentation" and its link ?

Nowadays, there is much more SmPL provided, and the rst file
describes better and up-to-date information.

Would a link to
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/coccinelle.html
be useful to point to latest version ?

Sincerely,
