Subject: [PATCH 5/5] drm/doc: Move legacy kms helpers to the very end
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2017 21:30:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171214203054.20141-6-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171214203054.20141-1-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

We don't want people to accidentally stumble over there.

Also rename the plane helpers to legacy plane helpers. After Ville's
patch to make the clipping helper atomic and move it to
drm_atomic_helper.c there's nothing left in there that should be
useful for modern drivers.

v2: Laurent had a few questions around how state is added to
drm_atomic_state, tried to clarify that. And spotted another sentence
where the docs suggested subclassing.
