From e03e6de03e931bd3d93b1e2a9dc7d0bf0b505287 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2016 10:27:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm/doc: Polish kerneldoc for encoders - Move missing bits into struct drm_encoder docs. - Explain that encoders are 95% internal and only 5% uapi, and that in general the uapi part is broken. - Remove verbose comments for functions not exposed to drivers. v2: Review from Archit: - Appease checkpatch in the moved code. - Make it clearer that bridges are not exposed to userspace.
