Intel i915 DRM display engine subcomponent

Internal source code for the display pipeline portion of Intel's integrated graphics driver, covering things like mode setting, output encoders, and panel handling for Intel GPUs from the i915 era through modern Xe-LPD parts. It is part of the larger i915 graphics driver rather than a separately loadable module.

recommendation

This is not a standalone driver; it is a subdirectory of helper code inside Intel's i915 graphics driver that handles display-related functionality (outputs, panels, mode setting). It only makes sense as part of i915 and is not separately evaluated for keep-or-remove decisions.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: contains the i915 display engine implementation/helpers as a subcomponent of the Intel i915 DRM driver, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
