AMD DCE 8.x Display Hardware Sequencing Helpers

Internal helper code inside the amdgpu Display Core that programs the hardware sequencing steps for AMD's Display and Compositing Engine version 8, the display block found on Sea Islands era Radeon GPUs and APUs from roughly 2013 onward.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is a subcomponent of the AMD Display Core code inside the amdgpu graphics driver, providing the per-generation glue that drives DCE 8.x display hardware. It is not independently loadable and lives or dies with amdgpu itself, so the keep/remove question does not apply at this level.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: internal AMD display-core hardware-sequencing helper code for DCE8 within amdgpu/DC, not a standalone kernel-bound device driver.
