Thanks for the review Daniel! I rejiggered your suggestions a little to
move some ACTIVE bits into the ACTIVE description.

+/**
+ * DOC: standard CRTC properties
+ *
+ * DRM CRTCs have a few standardized properties:
+ *
+ * ACTIVE:
+ * Atomic property for setting the power state of the CRTC. When set to 1
the
+ * CRTC will actively display content. When set to 0 the CRTC will be
powered
+ * off. There is no expectation that user-space will reset CRTC resources
like
+ * the mode and planes when setting ACTIVE to 0.
+ *
+ * User-space can rely on an ACTIVE change to 1 to never fail an atomic
test
+ * as long as no other property has changed. If a change to ACTIVE fails an
+ * atomic test, this is a driver bug. For this reason setting ACTIVE to 0
must
+ * not release internal resources (like reserved memory bandwidth or clock
+ * generators).
+ *
+ * Note that the legacy DPMS property on connectors is internally routed to
+ * control this property for atomic drivers.
+ * MODE_ID:
+ * Atomic property for setting the CRTC display timings. The value is the
ID
+ * of a blob containing the DRM mode info. To disable the CRTC, user-space
+ * must set this property to 0.
+ *
+ * Setting MODE_ID to 0 will release reserved resources for the CRTC.
