mainlining shenanigans
bacbab58f0
The drm_connector detect, drm_dp_aux transfer and mipi_dsi_host operations typically require to access their underlying device to perform what is expected of them. However, there's no guarantee on the fact that the device has been enabled through atomic_enable or similar that will usually power the device. The access to an unpowered device is then an undefined behaviour ranging from the access being ignored to a hard CPU hang. Let's document that expectation to avoid as much as possible those consequences.

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.
