Subject: [PATCH] drm: Document requirements for driver-specific KMS props in new drivers

When extending support for a driver-specific KMS property to additional
drivers, we should apply all the requirements for new properties and
make sure the semantics are the same and documented.

+For historical reasons, non-standard, driver-specific properties exist. If a KMS
+driver wants to add support for one of those properties, the requirements for
+new properties apply where possible. Additionally, the documented behavior must
+match the de facto semantics of the existing property to ensure compatibility.
