Mario Limonciello 8b4bd60402 drm/amdgpu/display: Add amdgpu_display.c documentation
Add kernel-doc references for amdgpu_display.c to the display manager
documentation. This pulls in documentation for display core functions
like the hotplug work handler, and the adaptive backlight modulation
property.

The :internal: directive automatically includes all function documentation,
while the explicit :doc: directive captures the property documentation that
:internal: doesn't pull in.

Rodrigo Siqueira 4b0eb9ce15 Documentation/amdgpu: Fix duplicate declaration
Address the below kernel doc warning:

Documentation/gpu/amdgpu/display/display-manager:134:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/inc/hw/mpc.h:3: WARNING: Duplicate C
declaration, also defined at gpu/amdgpu/display/dcn-blocks:101.

declaration, also defined at gpu/amdgpu/display/dcn-blocks:3.
Declaration is '.. c:enum:: mpcc_alpha_blend_mode'.

To address the above warnings, this commit uses the 'no-identifiers'
option in the dcn-blocks to avoid duplication with the previous use of
this function doc in the display-manager file. Finally, replaces the
deprecated ':function:' in favor of ':identifiers:'.

When building the kernel-doc, it complains with the below warning:

./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/link/hwss/link_hwss_dio.h:1: warning: no structured comments found

This warning was caused by the wrong use of the ':export:' and the lack
of function documentation in the file pointed under the ':internal:'.
This commit addresses those issues by relocating the overview
documentation to the correct C file, removing the ':export:' options,
and adding two simple kernel-doc to ensure that ':internal:' does not
have any warning.

document how to use it.

- Daniel: Drop redundant amdgpu prefix.
- Jani: Create index pages.
- Yann: Mirror display folder in the documentation.
