mainlining shenanigans
63170ac6f2
This patch makes the internal encoder implementation of the simple KMS helpers available to drivers. These simple-encoder helpers initialize an encoder with an empty implementation. This covers the requirements of most of the existing DRM drivers. A call to drm_simple_encoder_create() allocates and initializes an encoder instance, a call to drm_simple_encoder_init() initializes a pre-allocated instance. v3: * remove drm_simple_encoder_create(); not required yet * provide more precise documentation v2: * move simple encoder to KMS helpers * remove name argument; simplifies implementation * don't allocate with devm_ interfaces; unsafe with DRM Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200228081828.18463-2-tzimmermann@suse.de |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
