AMD Display Core Link Management Subsystem

An internal subdirectory of AMD's Display Core (DC) code inside the amdgpu graphics driver, responsible for managing display links such as DisplayPort and HDMI connections on AMD GPUs and APUs. It is shared infrastructure used by the wider amdgpu driver rather than something that binds to hardware on its own.

recommendation

This is not a standalone driver but a component of the amdgpu Display Core stack that handles link-layer concerns for AMD GPU display outputs. It only makes sense as part of the larger amdgpu driver and cannot be evaluated for keep-or-remove on its own.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: internal AMD display-core link-management subdirectory within amdgpu/DC, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
