- Add the missing doc for drm_helper_move_panel_connectors_to_head.
- Fixup any outdated stuff in existing sections. I've only looked at
  those kerneldoc headers that actually resulted in a complaint from
  the kerneldoc parser tool.

v2:
- Actually include the docbook snippet in the right patch.
- Fix spelling fail.

v3: It's now called drm_crtc_helper_set_mode, spotted by Laurent
Pinchart.

Should this really be removed? I'm guess it has been fixed or is not
really needed anymore but just making sure it shouldn't live somewhere
else.

Cheers, Jakob.

Yes, the modes from an EDID are validated against the limits given by the
EDID, which is as much information as we have. Higher levels can filter
the modes based on alternate sources, ofc.

Granted removing a FIXME should be a separate commit giving good reason
why it can be considered fixed. (i.e. treat it like the bug it warns
about of its own right.)

We now call down into the connectors ->mode_valid callback. I've figured
that's about as much checking the helper function here should concern
itself with. Now ofc, most drivers don't bother to trouble themselves with
dotclock limits, but imo that's not a FIXME for the helper code.

And no, adding another common check is imo not the solution, since doing
the full mode checking requires the global configuration anyway ...

I guess I get bad marks for failing to mention that in the commit message
;-)

Cheers, Daniel
