Perhaps "It can {call,run,execute} callbacks like ->dpms() ..."

Perhaps "->best_encoder()"? Or is the above required to get formatting
right with the new hypertext/markdown additions?

Parentheses after "drm_crtc_helper_set_config" to get it marked up as
function?

"->mode_set_base()"?

Why wrap here? There's a lot of empty space left on the above line.

"->mode_valid()"?
