[PATCH v4 2/2] drm/DocBook: Add more drm_bridge documentation

[Archit Taneja <architt@codeaurora.org>]

Add DOC sections giving an overview of drm_bridge and how to fill up the
drm_bridge_funcs ops. Add these to drm.tpml in DocBook.

Add headerdocs for funcs in drm_bridge.c that don't have them yet.

+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * drm_bridge represents a device that hangs on to an encoder. These are handy
+ * when a regular drm_encoder entity isn't enough to represent the entire
+ * encoder chain.
+ *
+ * A bridge is always associated to a single drm_encoder at a time, but can be
+ * either connected to it directly, or through an intermediate bridge:
+ *
+ * encoder ---> bridge B ---> bridge A
+ *
+ * Here, the output of the encoder feeds to bridge B, and that furthers feeds to
+ * bridge A.
+ *
+ * The driver using the bridge is responsible to make the associations between
+ * the encoder and bridges. Once these links are made, the bridges will
+ * participate along with encoder functions to perform mode_set/enable/disable
+ * through the ops provided in drm_bridge_funcs.
+ *
+ * drm_bridge, like drm_panel, aren't drm_mode_object entities like planes,
+ * crtcs, encoders or connectors. They just provide additional hooks to get the
+ * desired output at the end of the encoder chain.

 /**
+ * DOC: bridge callbacks

+ * The drm_bridge_funcs ops are populated by the bridge driver. The drm
+ * internals(atomic and crtc helpers) use the helpers defined in drm_bridge.c
+ * These helpers call a specific drm_bridge_funcs op for all the bridges
+ * during encoder configuration.
+ *
+ * When creating a bridge driver, one can implement drm_bridge_funcs op with
+ * the help of these rough rules:
+ *
+ * pre_enable: this contains things needed to be done for the bridge before
+ * its clock and timings are enabled by its source. For a bridge, its source
+ * is generally the encoder or bridge just before it in the encoder chain.
+ *
+ * enable: this contains things needs to be done for the bridge once its
+ * source is enabled. In other words, enable is called once the source is
+ * ready with clock and timing needed by the bridge.
+ *
+ * disable: this contains things needed to be done for the bridge assuming
+ * that its source is still enabled, i.e. clock and timings are still on.
+ *
+ * post_disable: this contains things needed to be done for the bridge once
+ * its source is disabled, i.e. once clocks and timings are off.
+ *
+ * mode_fixup: this should fixup the given mode for the bridge. It is called
+ * after the encoder's mode fixup.
+ *
+ * mode_set: this sets up the mode for the bridge. It assumes that its source
+ * (an encoder or a bridge) has set the mode too.
