FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS is an optional plane property to mark damaged regions on the plane in framebuffer coordinates of the framebuffer attached to the plane. The layout of blob data is simply an array of "struct drm_mode_rect". Unlike plane src coordinates, damage clips are not in 16.16 fixed point. As plane src in framebuffer cannot be negative so are damage clips. In damage clip, x1/y1 are inclusive and x2/y2 are exclusive. This patch also exports the kernel internal drm_rect to userspace as drm_mode_rect. This is because "struct drm_clip_rect" is not sufficient to represent damage for current plane size. Driver which are interested in enabling FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS property for a plane should enable this property using drm_plane_enable_damage_clips. v2: - Input validation on damage clips against framebuffer size. - Doc update, other minor changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
