Support for AMDGPU specific FreeSync properties and ioctls are dropped
from amdgpu_dm in favor of supporting drm variable refresh rate
properties.
The notify_freesync and set_freesync_property functions are dropped
from amdgpu_display_funcs.
The drm vrr_capable property is now attached to any DP/HDMI connector.
Its value is updated accordingly to the connector's FreeSync capabiltiy.
The freesync_enable logic and ioctl control has has been dropped in
favor of utilizing the vrr_enabled on the drm CRTC. This allows for more
fine grained atomic control over which CRTCs should support variable
refresh rate.
To handle state changes for vrr_enabled it was easiest to drop the
forced modeset on freesync_enabled change. This patch now performs the
required stream updates when planes are flipped.
This is done for a few reasons:
(1) VRR stream updates can be done in the fast update path
(2) amdgpu_dm_atomic_check would need to be hacked apart to check
desired variable refresh state and capability before the CRTC
disable pass.
(3) Performing VRR stream updates on-flip is needed for enabling BTR
support.
VRR packets and timing adjustments are now tracked and compared to
previous values sent to the hardware.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
