+DC Visual Confirmation
+======================
+
+Display core provides a feature named visual confirmation, which is a set of
+bars added at the scanout time by the driver to convey some specific
+information. In general, you can enable this debug option by using::
+
+ echo <N> > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_dm_visual_confirm
+
+Where `N` is an integer number for some specific scenarios that the developer
+wants to enable, you will see some of these debug cases in the following
+subsection.

+Pipe Split Debug
+----------------
+
+Sometimes we need to debug if DCN is splitting pipes correctly, and visual
+confirmation is also handy for this case. Similar to the MPO case, you can use
+the below command to enable visual confirmation::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_dm_visual_confirm
+
+In this case, if you have a pipe split, you will see one small red bar at the
+bottom of the display covering the entire display width and another bar
+covering the second pipe. In other words, you will see a bit high bar in the
+second pipe.
Display core provides a feature that makes it easy for users to debug Pipe Split. This commit introduces how to use such a debug option.
