[v4] drm/vkms: Add documentation

Commit Message

Louis Chauvet Sept. 5, 2024, 1:27 p.m. UTC

Add documentation around vkms_output and its initialization.
Add some documentation on pixel conversion functions.
Update of outdated comments for pixel_write functions.

Reviewed-by: José Expósito <[e-mail]>
Signed-off-by: Louis Chauvet <[e-mail]>
---
This series does not introduce functionnal changes, only some
documentation and renaming to clarify the code.
---
Changes in v4:
- Applied comments from José
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v3:
- Merged https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/
  as it also add documentation
- Apply José's comments, sorry
- Replace =1 by =BIT(0) for possible_crtc value
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v2:
- Dropped already applied patches
- Dropped useless patch as its content is deleted later
- Remove dependency on previous series
- Apply Maíra's comments
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]
