Daniel Vetter 30d23f220c drm/atomic: better doc for implicit vs explicit fencing
Note that a pile of drivers don't seem to take implicit fencing into
account, or at least don't call drm_atoimc_set_fence_for_plane().
Cc'ing relevant people, or at least some. Some drivers also look like
they don't disable implicit fencing (e.g. amdgpu) because the explicit
fences and implicit fences are handled by entirely independent code
paths.

I also wonder whether we shouldn't just make the recommended helpers
the default ones, since a lot of drivers don't bother to handle the
implicit fences at all it seems. The helpers won't blow up even for
non-GEM drivers or GEM drivers which don't fill out the gem bo
pointers in struct drm_framebuffer.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
