From 2be94971c759da872efce99fa823ea17cdb7cc8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2015 09:45:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm: Merge helper docbook into kerneldoc comments Duplication is bad, luckily both help texts highlighted different issues so the kerneldoc gained quite a bit! While at it also sprinkle more references to the vtable structs around and make it clear that legacy CRTC helpers are deprecated and which functions to use instead. v2: Spelling fixes and polish (Thierry).
