In the DC driver, we have multiple acronyms that are not obvious most of the time; the same idea is valid for amdgpu. This commit introduces a DC and amdgpu glossary in order to make it easier to navigate through our driver. Changes since V3: - Yann: Add new acronyms to amdgpu glossary - Daniel: Add link between dc and amdgpu glossary Changes since V2: - Add MMHUB Changes since V1: - Yann: Divide glossary based on driver context. - Alex: Make terms more consistent and update CPLIB - Add new acronyms to the glossary Reviewed-by: Yann Dirson <ydirson@free.fr> Reviewed-by: Harry Wentland <harry.wentland@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Siqueira <Rodrigo.Siqueira@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
