Maybe some merge conflict/merge issue, as this was renamed:

$ git show 1ce4da3dd99e98bd4a8b396c291041080e0fe85e Documentation/networking/index.rst
commit 1ce4da3dd99e98bd4a8b396c291041080e0fe85e
Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
Date:   Thu Jun 12 10:34:30 2025 +0200

    docs: use parser_yaml extension to handle Netlink specs
    
    Instead of manually calling ynl_gen_rst.py, use a Sphinx extension.
    This way, no .rst files would be written to the Kernel source
    directories.
    
    We are using here a toctree with :glob: property. This way, there
    is no need to touch the netlink/specs/index.rst file every time
    a new Netlink spec is added/renamed/removed.
