[PATCH v2 1/6] Documentation/gpu: Reorganize DC documentation

Rodrigo Siqueira Rodrigo.Siqueira at amd.com
Thu Dec 2 16:01:27 UTC 2021


Display core documentation is not well organized, and it is hard to find
information due to the lack of sections. This commit reorganizes the
documentation layout, and it is preparation work for future changes.

Changes since V1:
- Christian: Group amdgpu documentation together.
- Daniel: Drop redundant amdgpu prefix.
- Jani: Create index pages.
- Yann: Mirror display folder in the documentation.

-   hardware programming and resource management are handled here.

-
-When CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC is enabled, DC will be initialized by default for
-supported ASICs. To force disable, set `amdgpu.dc=0` on kernel command line.
-Likewise, to force enable on unsupported ASICs, set `amdgpu.dc=1`.
-
-To determine if DC is loaded, search dmesg for the following entry:

-``Display Core initialized with <version number here>``
