Message-ID: <1285125622.2518.21.camel@morgan.silverblock.net> Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2010 23:20:22 -0400 From: Andy Walls <awalls@...metrocast.net> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@...il.com>, Dave Airlie <airlied@...hat.com>, Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@...ah.com>, dri-devel@...ts.freedesktop.org, Jon Smirl <jonsmirl@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] Doc/ABI: sysfs-drm initial document; "polled" entry This is the initial addition of documentation for the drm module's sysfs entries. It provides a drm sysfs entries overview, and a detailed description of the new drm per output connector "polled" entry in sysfs.
