drm/fb-helper: improve kerneldoc
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.
