 /**
+ * DOC: irq helpers
+ *
+ * The DRM core provides very simple support helpers to enable IRQ handling on a
+ * device through the drm_irq_install() and drm_irq_uninstall() functions. This
+ * only supports devices with a single interrupt on the main device stored in
+ * &drm_device.dev and set as the device paramter in drm_dev_alloc().
+ *
+ * These IRQ helpers are strictly optional. Drivers which roll their own only
+ * need to set &drm_device.irq_enabled to signal the DRM core that vblank
+ * interrupts are working. Since these helpers don't automatically clean up the
+ * requested interrupt like e.g. devm_request_irq() they're not really
+ * recommended.

  * This is the simplified helper interface provided for drivers with no special
  * needs. Drivers which need to install interrupt handlers for multiple
  * interrupts must instead set &drm_device.irq_enabled to signal the DRM core
  * that vblank interrupts are available.
  *
+ * @irq must match the interrupt number that would be passed to request_irq(),
+ * if called directly instead of using this helper function.
+ *
+ * &drm_driver.irq_handler is called to handle the registered interrupt.
+ *
  * Returns:
  * Zero on success or a negative error code on failure.
