+Implementation Details
+======================
+
+Drivers should use drm_show_fdinfo() in their `struct file_operations`, and
+implement &drm_driver.show_fdinfo if they wish to provide any stats which
+are not provided by drm_show_fdinfo().  But even driver specific stats should
+be documented above and where possible, aligned with other drivers.
