AMD Display Core SoC and IP translator helpers

An internal helper layer inside AMD's Display Core (DC) component of the amdgpu graphics driver. It translates between SoC-level and IP-block-level descriptions of AMD GPU display hardware so the rest of the display stack can work with a consistent representation across different chip generations.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is a subdirectory of shared support code within the larger amdgpu display stack. It does not bind to hardware on its own and only has meaning as part of the AMD GPU driver, so it should not be evaluated for keep-or-remove on its own.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: AMD DC display-core SoC/IP translation helper code inside the amdgpu display stack, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
