+ * drm_atomic_helper_check - validate state object for modeset changes
+ * @dev: DRM device
+ * @state: the driver state object
+ *
+ * Check the state object to see if the requested state is physically possible.
+ * This does all the crtc and connector related computations for an atomic
+ * update. It computes and updates crtc_state->mode_changed, adds any additional
+ * connectors needed for full modesets and calls down into ->mode_fixup
+ * functions of the driver backend.
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT:
+ *
+ * Drivers which update ->mode_changed (e.g. in their ->atomic_check hooks if a
+ * plane update can't be done without a full modeset) _must_ call this function
+ * afterwards after that change. It is permitted to call this function multiple
+ * times for the same update, e.g. when the ->atomic_check functions depend upon
+ * the adjusted dotclock for fifo space allocation and watermark computation.
+ *
+ * RETURNS
+ * Zero for success or -errno
