[Spice-devel] [PATCH v3 23/23] drm/fb-helper: Clarify use of last_close and output_poll_changed

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Clarify documentation in the use of struct drm_driver.last_close and
struct drm_mode_config_funcs.output_poll_changed. Those callbacks should
not be said for fbdev implementations on top of struct drm_client_funcs.
