The summary:
. Add display mode check operaion to mixer driver
- Mixer IP also can put certain restrictions on the proposed
display modes and these restrictions need to be considered
during mode negotiation, which happens immediately after
edid parsing.
. Set correct mode for range of resolutions
- With this patch, the mixer driver could find the correct mode
for the range of resolutions upto 1080 vertical lines.
. Support extra resolution for hdmi
- This patch programs the core and timing generator registers
using the timing data provided in drm_display_mode without
hard-coded configurations. So this patch adds additional PHY
configs to allow us to support more permissible resolutions
and refresh rates.
. Add device tree support for g2d
- This patch adds just the compatible string for exynos5250 SoC
so that with device tree enabling, this driver can be probed.
. And bug fixes and code cleanups.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
