Daniel Vetter 9f80021473 drm/doc: Clarify mode_fixup vs. atomic_check a bit more
Brought up by both Laurent and Andrzej when reviewing the new
->mode_valid hooks. Since mode_fixup is just a simpler version of the
much more generic atomic_check we can't really unify it with
mode_valid. Most drivers should probably switch their current
mode_fixup code to either the new mode_valid or the atomic_check
hooks, but e.g. that doesn't exist yet for bridges, and for CRTCs the
situation is a bit more complicated. Hence there's no clear
equivalence between mode_fixup and mode_valid, even if it looks like
that at first glance.

v2: Fix accidental double-dot (Adnrzej).

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
