+/**
+ * DOC: Display PLLs
+ *
+ * Display PLLs used for driving outputs vary by platform. While some have
+ * per-pipe or per-encoder dedicated PLLs, others allow the use of any PLL
+ * from a pool. In the latter scenario, it is possible that multiple pipes
+ * share a PLL if their configurations match.
+ *
+ * This file provides an abstraction over display PLLs. The function
+ * intel_shared_dpll_init() initializes the PLLs for the given platform.  The
+ * users of a PLL are tracked and that tracking is integrated with the atomic
+ * modest interface. During an atomic operation, a PLL can be requested for a
+ * given CRTC and encoder configuration by calling intel_get_shared_dpll() and
+ * a previously used PLL can be released with intel_release_shared_dpll().
+ * Changes to the users are first staged in the atomic state, and then made
+ * effective by calling intel_shared_dpll_swap_state() during the atomic
+ * commit phase.
