[PATCH 20/28] drm: Add kerneldoc for drm_framebuffer_funcs

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

 



While typing these I noticed that ->dirty is a bit a can of worms
and even supports blt/fill semantics ... shocked me a bit.

Oh well it's defined in a way that nothing bad (just a bit of inefficiency)
will happen for drivers which supports this. So I didn't bother copying
the detailed spec into the new kerneldoc.
