Add {begin,end}_fb_access helpers to run at the beginning and end of
an atomic commit. The begin_fb_access helper acquires resources that
are necessary to perform the atomic commit. It it similar to prepare_fb,
except that the resources are to be released at the end of the commit.
Resources acquired by prepare_fb are held until after the next pageflip.
The end_fb_access helper performs the corresponding resource cleanup.
Atomic helpers call it with the new plane state. This is different from
cleanup_fb, which releases resources of the old plane state.

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.
