Subject: [PATCH 3/3] drm/nouveau: begin documenting core nouveau structures
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2020 21:16:56 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201106021656.40743-4-jcline@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201106021656.40743-1-jcline@redhat.com>
Start on documentation for the Nouveau device structure and the NVIF
client structure it uses. This documentation is not complete as the
structures are non-trivial and I am not familiar with large portions of
them.
