AMD Display Core HDCP support helpers

Internal helper code inside AMD's Display Core (DC) component that handles HDCP content protection negotiation for HDMI and DisplayPort outputs on AMD GPUs. It is a building block used by the amdgpu graphics driver, not an independent driver for any specific chip.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is a subcomponent of the larger AMD amdgpu/Display Core stack that implements the HDCP copy-protection handshake used when playing protected video over HDMI or DisplayPort. It only ships and runs as part of the AMD GPU driver, so it cannot be evaluated as a standalone driver for keep-or-remove purposes.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: AMD DC HDCP support is an internal DRM/display helper subdirectory, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
