  [PATCH 4/4] drm/vc4: Add a paragraph at the top of vc4 docs introducing what it is. Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> - 2017-02-27 21:40 +0100

#1588919 — [PATCH 4/4] drm/vc4: Add a paragraph at the top of vc4 docs introducing what it is.

This makes for more sensible documentation of the whole module than
jumping straight into the details of display.

+/**
+ * DOC: Broadcom VC4 Graphics Driver
+ *
+ * The Broadcom VideoCore 4 (present in the Raspberry Pi) contains a
+ * OpenGL ES 2.0-compatible 3D engine called V3D, and a highly
+ * configurable display output pipeline that supports HDMI, DSI, DPI,
+ * and Composite TV output.
+ *
+ * The 3D engine also has an interface for submitting arbitrary
+ * compute shader-style jobs using the same shader processor as is
+ * used for vertex and fragment shaders in GLES 2.0.  However, given
+ * that the hardware isn't able to expose any standard interfaces like
+ * OpenGL compute shaders or OpenCL, it isn't supported by this
+ * driver.
