2023-03-08drm/amd/display: add prefix to amdgpu_dm_plane.h functionsDavid Tadokoro
The amdgpu_dm_plane.h functions didn't have names that indicated where they were declared. To better filter results in debug tools like ftrace, prefix these functions with 'amdgpu_dm_plane_'. Note that we may want to make this same change in other files like amdgpu_dm_crtc.h. Signed-off-by: David Tadokoro <davidbtadokoro@usp.br> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
2022-09-01Documentation/gpu: Add Multiplane Overlay docRodrigo Siqueira
Multiple plane overlay is a feature supported by AMD hardware, but it has specific details that deserve proper documentation. This commit introduces a documentation that describes some of the features, limitations, and use cases for this feature. Part of this documentation came from some discussion in the public upstream [1][2].

2022-09-01Documentation/gpu: Add an explanation about the DCN pipelineRodrigo Siqueira
In the DCN code, we constantly talk about hardware pipeline, pipeline, or even just pipes, which is a concept that is not obvious to everyone. For this reason, this commit expands the DCN overview explanation by adding a new section that describes what a pipeline is from the DCN perspective. Changes since V1: - Rewrite the first paragraph that describes AMD hardware pipeline.
