AMD Display Core (DC) internal implementation

Internal implementation code for AMD's Display Core, the shared display pipeline library used by the amdgpu graphics driver to drive monitors connected to Radeon and Ryzen integrated GPUs. It handles things like pipe configuration, link training, and stream programming on behalf of the actual amdgpu driver.

recommendation

This is not actually a standalone driver directory; it is a subdirectory of shared infrastructure inside AMD's amdgpu display stack. It has no probe or bind logic of its own and only makes sense as part of the larger AMD GPU driver, so it should not be evaluated for removal on its own.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: AMD Display Core internal implementation subdirectory under amdgpu/display, with no standalone driver entry point or bind/probe layer in this path.
