The backend has a mux to select the destination of the data to output to. It can select the TCON or the frontends. On the A20, it includes an option to output to the second TCON. This is not documented in the user manual, but the vendor kernel uses it nevertheless, so the second backend outputs to the second TCON. Although the muxing can be changed on the fly, DRM needs to be able to group a bunch of layers such that they get switched to another crtc together. This is because the display backend does the layer compositing, while the TCON generates the display timings. This constraint is not supported by DRM. Here we simply pair up backends and TCONs with the same ID.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
