[PATCH 07/10] drm/doc: Polish plane composition property docs

Try to spec a bit more precisely how they all fit together, now that
at least the code is for all the additional properties is in one
place.

Also remove the entries for the standardized properties from the
table, because that thing is supremely unmaintaineable.

+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * The basic plane composition model supported by standard plan properties only
+ * has a source rectangle (in logical pixels within the &drm_framebuffer), with
+ * sub-pixel accuracy, which is scaled up to a pixel-aligned destination
+ * rectangle in the visible areay of a &drm_crtc. The visible area of a CRTC is
+ * defined by the horizontal and vertical visible pixels (stored in @hdisplay
+ * and @vdisplay) of the requested mode (stored in @mode in the
+ * &drm_crtc_state). These two rectangles are both stored in the
+ * &drm_plane_state.
+ *
+ * For the atomic ioctl the following standard (atomic) propertis on the plane object
+ * encode the basic plane composition model:
+ *
+ * SRC_X:
+ * 	X coordinate offset for the source rectangle within the
+ * 	&drm_framebuffer, in 16.16 fixed point. Must be positive.
+ * SRC_Y:
+ * 	Y coordinate offset for the source rectangle within the
+ * 	&drm_framebuffer, in 16.16 fixed point. Must be positive.
+ * SRC_W:
+ * 	Width for the source rectangle within the &drm_framebuffer, in 16.16
+ * 	fixed point. SRC_X plus SRC_W must be within the width of the source
+ * 	framebuffer. Must be positive.
+ * SRC_H:
+ * 	Height for the source rectangle within the &drm_framebuffer, in 16.16
+ * 	fixed point. SRC_Y plus SRC_H must be within the width of the source
+ * 	framebuffer. Must be positive.
+ * CRTC_X:
+ * 	X coordinate offset for the destination rectangle. Can be negative.
+ * CRTC_Y:
+ * 	Y coordinate offset for the destination rectangle. Can be negative.
+ * CRTC_W:
+ * 	Width for the destination rectangle. CRTC_X plus CRTC_W can extend past
+ * 	the currently visible horizontal area of the &drm_crtc.
+ * CRTC_H:
+ * 	Height for the destination rectangle. CRTC_Y plus CRTC_H can extend past
+ * 	the currently visible vertical area of the &drm_crtc.
+ * FB_ID:
+ * 	Mode object ID of the &drm_framebuffer this plane should scan out.
+ * CRTC_ID:
+ * 	Mode object ID of the &drm_crtc this plane should be connected to.
+ *
+ * Note that the source rectangle must fully lie within the bounds of the
+ * &drm_framebuffer. The destination rectangle can lie outside of the visible
+ * area of the current mode of the CRTC. It must be apprpriately clipped by the
+ * driver, which can be done by calling drm_plane_helper_check_update(). Drivers
+ * are also allowed to round the subpixel sampling positions appropriately, but
+ * only to the next full pixel. No pixel outside of the source rectangle may
+ * ever be sampled, which is important when applying more sophisticated
+ * filtering than just a bilinear one when scaling. The filtering mode when
+ * scaling is unspecified.
+ *
+ * On top of this basic transformation additional properties can be exposed by
+ * the driver:
+ *
+ * - Rotation is set up with drm_mode_create_rotation_property(). It adds a
+ *   rotation and reflection step between the source and destination rectangles.
+ *   Without this property the rectangle is only scaled, but not rotated or
+ *   reflected.
+ *
+ * - Z position is set up with drm_plane_create_zpos_immutable_property() and
+ *   drm_plane_create_zpos_property(). It controls the visibility of overlapping
+ *   planes. Without this property the primary plane is always below all the
+ *   cursor plane, and ordering between all other planes is undefined.
+ *
+ * Note that all the property extensions described here apply either to the
+ * plane or the CRTC (e.g. for the background color, which currently is not
+ * exposed and assumed to be black).
+ */
+
+/**
+ * drm_mode_create_rotation_property - create a new rotation property
+ * @dev: DRM device
+ * @supported_rotations: bitmask of supported rotations and reflections
+ *
+ * This creates a new property with the selected support for transformations.
+ * The resulting property should be stored in @rotation_property in
+ * &drm_mode_config. It then must be attached to each plane which support
+ * rotations using drm_object_attach_property().
+ *
+ * FIXME: Probably better if the rotation property is created on each plane,
+ * like the zpos property. Otheriwise it's not possible to allow different
+ * rotation modes on different planes.
+ *
+ * Since a rotation by 180° degress is the same as reflecting both along the x
+ * and the y axis the rotation property is somewhat redundant. Drivers can use
+ * drm_rotation_simplify() to normalize values of this property.
+ *
+ * The property exposed to userspace is a bitmask property (see
+ * drm_property_create_bitmask()) called "rotation" and has the following
+ * bitmask enumaration values:
+ *
+ * DRM_ROTATE_0:
+ * 	"rotate-0"
+ * DRM_ROTATE_90:
+ * 	"rotate-90"
+ * DRM_ROTATE_180:
+ * 	"rotate-180"
+ * DRM_ROTATE_270:
+ * 	"rotate-270"
+ * DRM_REFLECT_X:
+ * 	"reflect-x"
+ * DRM_REFELCT_Y:
+ * 	"reflect-y"
+ *
+ * Rotation is the specified amount in degrees in counter clockwise direction,
+ * the X and Y axis are within the source rectangle, i.e.  the X/Y axis before
+ * rotation. After reflection, the rotation is applied to the image sampled from
+ * the source rectangle, before scaling it to fit the destination rectangle.
