AMD Display Core GPIO helpers

Internal helper code inside the AMD Display Core (DC) component of the amdgpu graphics driver. It provides GPIO abstractions used by AMD GPUs for tasks like reading display connector hot-plug pins and driving DDC/I2C lines to monitors, but it is not a stand-alone driver users can load or unload.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is a subfolder of shared library code that the AMD GPU driver builds into itself to manage display-related GPIO pins. It only makes sense as part of the larger amdgpu/DC stack, so questions about keeping or removing it should be directed at the parent AMD display driver rather than treated in isolation.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: internal AMD DC display-core GPIO helper code under amdgpu, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
