+/**
+ * DOC: Display Refresh Rate Switching (DRRS)
+ *
+ * Display Refresh Rate Switching (DRRS) is a power conservation feature
+ * which enables swtching between low and high refresh rates,
+ * dynamically, based on the usage scenario. This feature is applicable
+ * for internal panels.
+ *
+ * Indication that the panel supports DRRS is given by the panel EDID, which
+ * would list multiple refresh rates for one resolution.
+ *
+ * DRRS is of 2 types - static and seamless.
+ * Static DRRS involves changing refresh rate (RR) by doing a full modeset
+ * (may appear as a blink on screen) and is used in dock-undock scenario.
+ * Seamless DRRS involves changing RR without any visual effect to the user
+ * and can be used during normal system usage. This is done by programming
+ * certain registers.
+ *
+ * Support for static/seamless DRRS may be indicated in the VBT based on
+ * inputs from the panel spec.
+ *
+ * DRRS saves power by switching to low RR based on usage scenarios.
+ *
+ * eDP DRRS:-
+ *        The implementation is based on frontbuffer tracking implementation.
+ * When there is a disturbance on the screen triggered by user activity or a
+ * periodic system activity, DRRS is disabled (RR is changed to high RR).
+ * When there is no movement on screen, after a timeout of 1 second, a switch
+ * to low RR is made.
+ *        For integration with frontbuffer tracking code,
+ * intel_edp_drrs_invalidate() and intel_edp_drrs_flush() are called.
+ *
+ * DRRS can be further extended to support other internal panels and also
+ * the scenario of video playback wherein RR is set based on the rate
+ * requested by userspace.
