Daniel Vetter d0d1aee5f7 drm: Try to document legacy DPMS uapi a bit better
Due to inconsistency of how various legacy drivers implemented DPMS
the DPMS uabi has a lot of quirks. Atomic standardizes this, but
drivers using the DPMS support can't rely on that since legacy drivers
still exist.

Laurent asked for this.

v2:
Improve commit message and explain that DPMS doesn't really exist for
the atomic ioctl (it's "ACTIVE" on the CRTC instead).

Text polish from Eric's review.

============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
