The "Damage Tracking Properties" section in the documentation doesn't have info about the two type of damage handling: frame damage vs buffer damage. Add it to the section and mention that helpers only support frame damage, and how drivers handling buffer damage can indicate that the damage clips should be ignored. Also add references to further documentation about the two damage types.

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.
