This adds the required infrastructure for manually updated displays, such as DSI command mode panels. While those panels often support partial updates we currently always do a full refresh. The display will be refreshed when something calls the dirty callback, such as libdrm's drmModeDirtyFB(). This is currently being done at least by the kernel console and Xorg (with modesetting driver) in their default configuration. Weston does not implement this and the fbdev backend does not work (display will not update). Weston's DRM backend uses double buffering and the page flip will also trigger a display refresh.

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.
