Dave Airlie 33d5f513c6 imx-drm PRE/PRG support, deferred plane disabling, separate alpha support
- Initial support for the Prefetch Resolve Engine/Gasket on i.MX6QP,
   improving linear scanout buffer memory bandwidth utilization. This
   will in the future grow reordering support and allow direct scanout
   of Vivante tiled renderbuffers from the GPU.
 - Deferred plane disabling gets rid of some busy waiting in the atomic
   plane disable and crtc disable paths that lead to wait_for_vblank
   timeouts.
 - Add support for RGBA formats with a separate alpha plane, that can
   reduce memory bandwidth utilization for mostly transparent overlay
   planes by skipping color reads for completely transparent regions.
 - Allow moving an active overlay plane without enforcing a modeset.
 - Add 8-bit and 16-bit bayer formats to ipu_cpmem_set_image.
 - Set the base address in ipu_cpmem_set_image even for invalid formats
   to increase robustness against errors.
 - Use drm_plane_helper_check_state in plane atomic_check.
 - Some cleanup.

README

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.
