 Frame Buffer Abstraction
 ========================
 
-Frame buffers are abstract memory objects that provide a source of
-pixels to scanout to a CRTC. Applications explicitly request the
-creation of frame buffers through the DRM_IOCTL_MODE_ADDFB(2) ioctls
-and receive an opaque handle that can be passed to the KMS CRTC control,
-plane configuration and page flip functions.
-
-Frame buffers rely on the underneath memory manager for low-level memory
-operations. When creating a frame buffer applications pass a memory
-handle (or a list of memory handles for multi-planar formats) through
-the ``drm_mode_fb_cmd2`` argument. For drivers using GEM as their
-userspace buffer management interface this would be a GEM handle.
-Drivers are however free to use their own backing storage object
-handles, e.g. vmwgfx directly exposes special TTM handles to userspace
-and so expects TTM handles in the create ioctl and not GEM handles.
-
-The lifetime of a drm framebuffer is controlled with a reference count,
-drivers can grab additional references with
-:c:func:`drm_framebuffer_reference()`and drop them again with
-:c:func:`drm_framebuffer_unreference()`. For driver-private
-framebuffers for which the last reference is never dropped (e.g. for the
-fbdev framebuffer when the struct :c:type:`struct drm_framebuffer
-<drm_framebuffer>` is embedded into the fbdev helper struct)
-drivers can manually clean up a framebuffer at module unload time with
-:c:func:`drm_framebuffer_unregister_private()`.

 /**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * Frame buffers are abstract memory objects that provide a source of pixels to
+ * scanout to a CRTC. Applications explicitly request the creation of frame
+ * buffers through the DRM_IOCTL_MODE_ADDFB(2) ioctls and receive an opaque
+ * handle that can be passed to the KMS CRTC control, plane configuration and
+ * page flip functions.
+ *
+ * Frame buffers rely on the underlying memory manager for allocating backing
+ * storage. When creating a frame buffer applications pass a memory handle
+ * (or a list of memory handles for multi-planar formats) through the
+ * struct &drm_mode_fb_cmd2 argument. For drivers using GEM as their userspace
+ * buffer management interface this would be a GEM handle.  Drivers are however
+ * free to use their own backing storage object handles, e.g. vmwgfx directly
+ * exposes special TTM handles to userspace and so expects TTM handles in the
+ * create ioctl and not GEM handles.
+ *
+ * Framebuffers are tracked with struct &drm_framebuffer. They are published
+ * using drm_framebuffer_init() - after calling that function userspace can use
+ * and access the framebuffer object. The helper function
+ * drm_helper_mode_fill_fb_struct() can be used to pre-fill the required
+ * metadata fields.
+ *
+ * The lifetime of a drm framebuffer is controlled with a reference count,
+ * drivers can grab additional references with drm_framebuffer_reference() and
+ * drop them again with drm_framebuffer_unreference(). For driver-private
+ * framebuffers for which the last reference is never dropped (e.g. for the
+ * fbdev framebuffer when the struct struct &drm_framebuffer is embedded into
+ * the fbdev helper struct) drivers can manually clean up a framebuffer at
+ * module unload time with drm_framebuffer_unregister_private(). But doing this
+ * is not recommended, and it's better to have a normal free-standing struct
+ * &drm_framebuffer.
