2df30ae0ba Documentation/gpu: Add acronyms for some firmware components
Users can check the file "/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_firmware_info"
to get information on the firmware loaded in the system. This file has
multiple acronyms that are not documented in the glossary. This commit
introduces some missing acronyms to the AMD glossary documentation. The
meaning of each acronym in this commit was extracted from code
documentation available in the following files:

- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v7_0.c
- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/include/amd_shared.h

Changes since v1:
- Expand acronym meanings based on Alex Deucher suggestions.

a723c6d078 Documentation/gpu: Add amdgpu and dc glossary
In the DC driver, we have multiple acronyms that are not obvious most of
the time; the same idea is valid for amdgpu. This commit introduces a DC
and amdgpu glossary in order to make it easier to navigate through our
driver.

Changes since V3:
 - Yann: Add new acronyms to amdgpu glossary
 - Daniel: Add link between dc and amdgpu glossary

Changes since V2:
 - Add MMHUB

Changes since V1:
 - Yann: Divide glossary based on driver context.
 - Alex: Make terms more consistent and update CPLIB
 - Add new acronyms to the glossary
