Hi Daniel

Better and more consistent docs - good!

For a newbie like me the above does not really help to understand what
PRIME is.
Yes, it is file descriptors used to share buffer objects across
processes.
But the text say "also used ..", so the main usage of PRIME is something
else.

But as said, newbie so it may be fine for most readers.

Here maybe add a description of the return result.
If I read the code correct:
Returns 0 on success or negative error code on failure.

Could we here document what function we provide as the default
&drm_gem_object_funcs.free hook, which do the drm_prime_gem_destroy()
call.
I read the above that drivers have to provide their own implementation
of a .free hook, and I do not think this is right.

It is confusing why the above comment refer to another callback.
Is this the right wording?
	* Compared to @gem_free_object_unlocked this is not encumbered with
	* &drm_device.struct_mutex legacy locking schemes.

Do gem_free_object() warrant a similar comment?

Nit: In some places we do:
	int (foo) (int bar);
other:
	int (foo)(int bar);

No preference here, but it hurts my OCD a little that it is
inconsistent.
