This adds a new callback to crtc, encoder and bridge helper functions called mode_valid(). This callback shall be implemented if the corresponding component has some sort of restriction in the modes that can be displayed. A NULL callback implicates that the component can display all the modes. We also change the documentation so that the new and old callbacks are correctly documented. Only the callbacks were implemented to simplify review process, following patches will make use of them. Changes in v2 from Daniel: - Update the warning about how modes aren't filtered in atomic_check - the heleprs help out a lot more now. - Consistenly roll out that warning, crtc/encoder's atomic_check missed it. - Sprinkle more links all over the place, so it's easier to see where this stuff is used and how the differen hooks are related. - Note that ->mode_valid is optional everywhere. - Explain why the connector's mode_valid is special and does _not_ get called in atomic_check. v3: Document what can and cannot be checked in mode_valid a bit better (Andrjez). Answer: Only allowed to look at the mode, nothing else.

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.
