2022-09-01Documentation/gpu: Add Multiplane Overlay docRodrigo Siqueira7-0/+1674
Multiple plane overlay is a feature supported by AMD hardware, but it has specific details that deserve proper documentation. This commit introduces a documentation that describes some of the features, limitations, and use cases for this feature. Part of this documentation came from some discussion in the public upstream [1][2].

2022-09-01Documentation/gpu: Add an explanation about the DCN pipelineRodrigo Siqueira3-0/+2079
In the DCN code, we constantly talk about hardware pipeline, pipeline, or even just pipes, which is a concept that is not obvious to everyone. For this reason, this commit expands the DCN overview explanation by adding a new section that describes what a pipeline is from the DCN perspective. Changes since V1: - Rewrite the first paragraph that describes AMD hardware pipeline.

Add details about color correction capabilities and explain a bit about differences between DC hw generations and also how they are mapped between DRM and DC interface. Two schemas for DCN 2.0 and 3.0 (converted to svg from the original png) is included to illustrate it. They were obtained from a discussion[1] in the amd-gfx mailing list.
