+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * This library provides helpers registering DRM drivers during module
+ * initialization and shutdown. The provided helpers act like bus-specific
+ * module helpers, such as module_pci_driver(), but respect additional
+ * parameters that control DRM driver registration.
+ *
+ * Below is an example of initializing a DRM driver for a device on the
+ * PCI bus.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	struct pci_driver my_pci_drv = {
+ *	};
+ *
+ *	drm_module_pci_driver(my_pci_drv);
+ *
+ * The generated code will test if DRM drivers are enabled and register
+ * the PCI driver my_pci_drv. For more complex module initialization, you
+ * can still use module_init() and module_exit() in your driver.
