From c8458c7efd01f5748e9ca74720e366d3fcc5fa97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2016 10:27:57 +0200 Subject: drm/doc: Polish docs for drm_property&drm_property_blob - remove kerneldoc for drm-internal functions - drm_property_replace_global_blob isn't actually atomic, and doesn't need to be. Update docs&comments to match - document all the types and try to link things a bit better - nits all over v2: Appease checkpatch in the moved code (Archit) Reviewed-by: Archit Taneja Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20160829082757.17913-9-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch --- include/drm/drm_property.h | 196 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 185 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) (limited to 'include/drm/drm_property.h') diff --git a/include/drm/drm_property.h b/include/drm/drm_property.h index ac40069358c7..30ab289be05d 100644 --- a/include/drm/drm_property.h +++ b/include/drm/drm_property.h @@ -27,33 +27,192 @@ #include #include -struct drm_property_blob { - struct drm_mode_object base; - struct drm_device *dev; - struct list_head head_global; - struct list_head head_file; - size_t length; - unsigned char data[]; -}; - +/** + * struct drm_property_enum - symbolic values for enumerations + * @value: numeric property value for this enum entry + * @head: list of enum values, linked to enum_list in &drm_property + * @name: symbolic name for the enum + * + * For enumeration and bitmask properties this structure stores the symbolic + * decoding for each value.
