[PATCH 0/3] drm: Atomic modesetting doc and comment improvements

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi all,

This patch series contains various improvements to the documentation and
comments related to atomic modesetting.  Hopefully, it will ease the job
of DRM novice who want to tackle the daunting task of converting a
legacy DRM driver to atomic modesetting.

Thanks for your comments!

[PATCH 1/3] drm/todo: Add atomic modesetting references

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

The section about converting existing KMS drivers to atomic modesetting
mentions the existence of a conversion guide, but does not reference it.
While the guide is old and rusty, it still contains useful information,
so add a link to it.  Also link to the LWN.net articles that give an
overview about the atomic mode setting design.

Are any of the virtual drivers not yet ported to atomic? This sentence
seems to be outdated and maybe you could remove it on a following patch?

Good question.  I'm not sure which driver(s) this refers to.
drivers/gpu/drm/vkms/ was introduced much later, and always had
DRIVER_ATOMIC. Perhaps just the boochs driver, which was converted?

[PATCH 2/3] drm: Remove references to removed transitional helpers

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

The transitional helpers were removed a long time ago, but some
references stuck.  Remove them.

Fixes: 21ebe615c16994f3 ("drm: Remove transitional helpers")
Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>
---
It doesn't look like the drm_encoder_helper_funcs were ever used by the
transitional plane helpers?

The first paragraph starts with "This helper library has two parts.". As
you're dropping the mention of the second part, I think you should
rework the first paragraph too.

That was my initial thought, too.
However, the code still has a second part, not related to the topic of
the first part (primary plane support).

[PATCH 3/3] drm: Fix references to drm_plane_helper_check_state()

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

As of commit a01cb8ba3f628293 ("drm: Move drm_plane_helper_check_state()
into drm_atomic_helper.c"), drm_plane_helper_check_state() no longer
exists, but is part of drm_atomic_helper_check_plane_state().

This is against next-20230602, which does not have the

OK, will update the comment in __rzg2l_du_vsp_plane_atomic_check() 

as it is moved to drivers/gpu/drm/renesas/rz-du/rzg2l_du_vsp.c 
based on Laurent's review comment.
