drm/doc: Clarify PRIME documentation
PRIME fds aren't actually GEM fds but are (like the modeset API) independent of the underlying buffer manager, as long as that one uses uint32_t as handles. So move that entire section out of the GEM section and reword it a bit to clarify which parts of PRIME are generic, and which are the mandatory pieces for GEM drivers to correctly implement the GEM lifetime rules. The rewording mostly consists of not mixing up GEM, PRIME and DRM. I've considered adding some blurbs to the GEM object lifetime section about interactions with dma-bufs, but then dropped that. As long as drivers use the right helpers they should have this all implemented correctly and hence can be regarded as an implementation detail of the PRIME/GEM helpers. So no need to confuse driver writers with those tricky interactions. Reviewed-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
