+drm/amd/display - Display Core (DC)
+===================================
+
+*placeholder - general description of supported platforms, what dc is, etc.*
+
+Because it is partially shared with other operating systems, the Display Core
+Driver is divided in two pieces.
+
+1. **Display Core (DC)** contains the OS-agnostic components. Things like
+   hardware programming and resource management are handled here.
+2. **Display Manager (DM)** contains the OS-dependent components. Hooks to the
+   amdgpu base driver and DRM are implemented here.
+
+It doesn't help that the entire package is frequently referred to as DC. But
+with the context in mind, it should be clear.
+
+When CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC is enabled, DC will be initialized by default for
+supported ASICs. To force disable, set `amdgpu.dc=0` on kernel command line.
+Likewise, to force enable on unsupported ASICs, set `amdgpu.dc=1`.
+
+To determine if DC is loaded, search dmesg for the following entry:
+
+``Display Core initialized with <version number here>``
