While typing these I think doing an s/component_master/aggregate/
would be useful:
- it's shorter :-)
- I think component/aggregate is much more meaningful naming than
component/puppetmaster or something like that. At least to my
English ear "aggregate" emphasizes much more the "assemble a pile of
things into something bigger" aspect, and there's not really much
of a control hierarchy between aggregate and constituing components.
But that's way more than a quick doc typing exercise ...
Thanks to Ram for commenting on an initial draft of these docs.
v2: Review from Rafael:
- git add Documenation/driver-api/component.rst
- lots of polish to the wording + spelling fixes.
v3: Review from Russell:
- s/framework/helper
- clarify the documentation for component_match_add functions.

+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * The component helper allows drivers to collect a pile of sub-devices,
+ * including their bound drivers, into an aggregate driver. Various subsystems
+ * already provide functions to get hold of such components, e.g.
+ * of_clk_get_by_name(). The component helper can be used when such a
+ * subsystem-specific way to find a device is not available: The component
+ * helper fills the niche of aggregate drivers for specific hardware, where
+ * further standardization into a subsystem would not be practical. The common
+ * example is when a logical device (e.g. a DRM display driver) is spread around
+ * the SoC on various component (scanout engines, blending blocks, transcoders
+ * for various outputs and so on).
+ *
+ * The component helper also doesn't solve runtime dependencies, e.g. for system
+ * suspend and resume operations. See also :ref:`device links<device_link>`.
+ *
+ * Components are registered using component_add() and unregistered with
+ * component_del(), usually from the driver's probe and disconnect functions.
+ *
+ * Aggregate drivers first assemble a component match list of what they need
+ * using component_match_add(). This is then registered as an aggregate driver
+ * using component_master_add_with_match(), and unregistered using
+ * component_master_del().
