+ * @atomic_check:

+ * aware of the calling order, since this hook is used by
+ * drm_atomic_helper_check_planes() whereas the preparations needed to
+ * check output routing and the display mode is done in
+ * drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset(). Therefore drivers that want to
+ * check output routing and display mode constraints in this callback

+ * beforehand. This is calling order used by the default helper
+ * implementation in drm_atomic_helper_check().
+ *
+ * When using drm_atomic_helper_check_planes() CRTCs' ->atomic_check()
+ * hooks are called after the ones for planes, which allows drivers to
+ * assign shared resources requested by planes in the CRTC callback
+ * here. For more complicated dependencies the driver can call the provided
+ * check helpers multiple times until the computed state has a final
+ * configuration and everything has been checked.
+ *
+ * This function is also allowed to inspect any other object's state and
+ * can add more state objects to the atomic commit if needed. Care must
+ * be taken though to ensure that state check&compute functions for
+ * these added states are all called, and derived state in other objects

+ * until a maximal configuration is reached.

+ * state objects passed-in or assembled in the overall &drm_atomic_state
+ * update tracking structure.
