This series does not introduce functionnal changes, only some
documentation and renaming to clarify the code.

Changes in v4:
- Applied comments from José
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240829-google-clarifications-v3-1-f6604e2f6297@bootlin.com

Changes in v3:
- Merged https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240802-yuv-v9-3-08a706669e16@bootlin.com/
  as it also add documentation
- Apply José's comments, sorry
- Replace =1 by =BIT(0) for possible_crtc value
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240826-google-clarifications-v2-1-2574655b0b91@bootlin.com

Changes in v2:
- Dropped already applied patches
- Dropped useless patch as its content is deleted later
- Remove dependency on previous series
- Apply Maíra's comments
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240814-google-clarifications-v1-0-3ee76d7d0c28@bootlin.com
