AMD Display Mode Library (DML) helper code

A shared helper library inside AMD's Display Core (DC) stack that calculates display timings, bandwidth budgets, and pipe configurations for AMD GPUs and APUs. It is consumed by the actual amdgpu display driver rather than binding to hardware itself.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is internal math and configuration helper code used by AMD's amdgpu display stack to plan how to drive monitors. It ships as part of the broader AMD GPU driver and only makes sense in that context.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: contains AMD Display Mode Library helper code used by the DC display stack, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
