* Documentation/gpu: Add Multiplane Overlay docRodrigo Siqueira2022-09-017-0/+1674
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Multiple plane overlay is a feature supported by AMD hardware, but it has specific details that deserve proper documentation. This commit introduces a documentation that describes some of the features, limitations, and use cases for this feature. Part of this documentation came from some discussion in the public upstream [1][2].

* Documentation/gpu: Add an explanation about the DCN pipelineRodrigo Siqueira2022-09-013-0/+2079
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the DCN code, we constantly talk about hardware pipeline, pipeline, or even just pipes, which is a concept that is not obvious to everyone. For this reason, this commit expands the DCN overview explanation by adding a new section that describes what a pipeline is from the DCN perspective. Changes since V1: - Rewrite the first paragraph that describes AMD hardware pipeline.

* Documentation/gpu: Add info table for ASICsRodrigo Siqueira2022-09-013-0/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Amdgpu driver is used in an extensive range of devices, and each ASIC has some specific configuration. As a result of this variety, sometimes it is hard to identify the correct block that might cause the issue. This commit expands the amdgpu kernel-doc to alleviate this issue by introducing one ASIC table that describes dGPU and another one that shares the APU info.
