Now that the fbdev helper interface for drivers is trimmed down, update the kerneldoc for all the remaining exported functions. I've tried to beat the DocBook a bit by reordering the function references a bit into a more sensible ordering. But that didn't work out at all. Hence just extend the in-code DOC: section a bit. Also remove the LOCKING: sections - especially for the setup functions they're totally bogus. But that's not a documentation problem, but simply an artifact of the current rather hazardous locking around drm init and even more so around fbdev setup ... v2: Some further improvements: - Also add documentation for drm_fb_helper_single_add_all_connectors, Dave Airlie didn't want me to kill this one from the fb helper interface. - Update docs for drm_fb_helper_fill_var/fix - they should be used from the driver's ->fb_probe callback to setup the fbdev info structure. - Clarify what the ->fb_probe callback should all do - it needs to setup both the fbdev info and allocate the drm framebuffer used as backing storage. - Add basic documentaation for the drm_fb_helper_funcs driver callback vfunc. v3: Implement clarifications Laurent Pinchart suggested in his review. v4: Fix another mispelling Laurent spotted.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
