primary planes may make use of the helper functions described in ? to
create and register a primary plane with standard capabilities.
-Encoders (:c:type:`struct drm_encoder <drm_encoder>`)
------------------------------------------------------
-
-An encoder takes pixel data from a CRTC and converts it to a format
-suitable for any attached connectors. On some devices, it may be
-possible to have a CRTC send data to more than one encoder. In that
-case, both encoders would receive data from the same scanout buffer,
-resulting in a "cloned" display configuration across the connectors
-attached to each encoder.
-
-Encoder Initialization
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-As for CRTCs, a KMS driver must create, initialize and register at least
-one :c:type:`struct drm_encoder <drm_encoder>` instance. The
-instance is allocated and zeroed by the driver, possibly as part of a
-larger structure.
-
-Drivers must initialize the :c:type:`struct drm_encoder
-<drm_encoder>` possible_crtcs and possible_clones fields before
-registering the encoder. Both fields are bitmasks of respectively the
-CRTCs that the encoder can be connected to, and sibling encoders
-candidate for cloning.
-
-After being initialized, the encoder must be registered with a call to
-:c:func:`drm_encoder_init()`. The function takes a pointer to the
-encoder functions and an encoder type. Supported types are
-
-- DRM_MODE_ENCODER_DAC for VGA and analog on DVI-I/DVI-A
-- DRM_MODE_ENCODER_TMDS for DVI, HDMI and (embedded) DisplayPort
-- DRM_MODE_ENCODER_LVDS for display panels
-- DRM_MODE_ENCODER_TVDAC for TV output (Composite, S-Video,
- Component, SCART)
-- DRM_MODE_ENCODER_VIRTUAL for virtual machine displays
-
-Encoders must be attached to a CRTC to be used. DRM drivers leave
-encoders unattached at initialization time. Applications (or the fbdev
-compatibility layer when implemented) are responsible for attaching the
-encoders they want to use to a CRTC.

+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * Encoders represent the connecting element between the CRTC (as the overall
+ * pixel pipeline, represented by struct &drm_crtc) and the connectors (as the
+ * generic sink entity, represented by struct &drm_connector). Encoders are
+ * objects exposed to userspace, originally to allow userspace to infer cloning
+ * and connector/CRTC restrictions. Unfortunately almost all drivers get this
+ * wrong, making the uabi pretty much useless. On top of that the exposed
+ * restrictions are too simple for todays hardware, and the recommend way to
+ * infer restrictions is by using the DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY flag for the
+ * atomic IOCTL.
+ *
+ * Otherwise encoders aren't used in the uapi at all (any modeset request from
+ * userspace directly connects a connector with a CRTC), drivers are therefore
+ * free to use them however they wish. Modeset helper libraries make strong use
+ * of encoders to facilitate code sharing. But for more complex settings it is
+ * usually better to move shared code into a separate &drm_bridge. Compared to
+ * encoders bridges also have the benefit of not being purely an internal
+ * abstraction since they are not exposed to userspace at all.
+ *
+ * Encoders are initialized with drm_encoder_init() and cleaned up using
+ * drm_encoder_cleanup().
