[PATCH 01/28] drm: Polish fbdev helper struct docs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Mostly this is just adding extensive docs for the callbacks, but also
a few other additions.

v2: Use FIXME comments to annotate helper hooks that should be
replaced.
