Commits63e83c1dba("drm: Consolidate connector arrays in drm_atomic_state"),b8b5342b69("drm: Consolidate plane arrays in drm_atomic_state") and5d943aa6c0("drm: Consolidate crtc arrays in drm_atomic_state") moved the object pointer and their state pointer to an intermediate structure storing both. The CRTC commit didn't update the doc of the crtcs field to reflect that, and the doc for the planes and connectors fields mention that they are pointers to an array of structures with per-$OBJECT data. The private_objs field was added later on by commitb430c27a7d("drm: Add driver-private objects to atomic state") reusing the same sentence than the crtcs field, probably due to copy and paste. While these fields are indeed pointers to an array, each item of that array contain a pointer to the object structure affected by the update, and its old and new state. There's no per-object data there, and there's more than just a pointer to the objects. Let's rephrase those fields a bit to better match the current situation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
