+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS is an optional plane property which provides a means to
+ * specify a list of damage rectangles on a plane in framebuffer coordinates of
+ * the framebuffer attached to the plane. In current context damage is the area
+ * of plane framebuffer that has changed since last plane update (also called
+ * page-flip), irrespective of whether currently attached framebuffer is same as
+ * framebuffer attached during last plane update or not.
+ *
+ * FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS is a hint to kernel which could be helpful for some drivers
+ * to optimize internally especially for virtual devices where each framebuffer
+ * change needs to be transmitted over network, usb, etc.
+ *
+ * Since FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS is a hint so it is an optional property. User-space can
+ * ignore damage clips property and in that case driver will do a full plane
+ * update. In case damage clips are provided then it is guaranteed that the area
+ * inside damage clips will be updated to plane. For efficiency driver can do
+ * full update or can update more than specified in damage clips. Since driver
+ * is free to read more, user-space must always render the entire visible
+ * framebuffer. Otherwise there can be corruptions. Also, if a user-space
+ * provides damage clips which doesn't encompass the actual damage to
+ * framebuffer (since last plane update) can result in incorrect rendering.
+ *
+ * FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS is a blob property with the layout of blob data is simply an
+ * array of &drm_mode_rect. Unlike plane &drm_plane_state.src coordinates,
+ * damage clips are not in 16.16 fixed point. Similar to plane src in
+ * framebuffer, damage clips cannot be negative. In damage clip, x1/y1 are
+ * inclusive and x2/y2 are exclusive. While kernel does not error for overlapped
+ * damage clips, it is strongly discouraged.
+ *
+ * Drivers that are interested in damage interface for plane should enable
+ * FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS property by calling drm_plane_enable_fb_damage_clips().
