drm/i915: Add PSR docbook

Let's document PSR a bit. No functional changes.

v2: Add actual DocBook entry and accept Daniel's improvements.

+/**
+ * DOC: Panel Self Refresh (PSR/SRD)
+ *
+ * Since Haswell Display controller supports Panel Self-Refresh on display
+ * panels witch have a remote frame buffer (RFB) implemented according to PSR
+ * spec in eDP1.3. PSR feature allows the display to go to lower standby states
+ * when system is idle but display is on as it eliminates display refresh
+ * request to DDR memory completely as long as the frame buffer for that
+ * display is unchanged.
+ *
+ * Panel Self Refresh must be supported by both Hardware (source) and
+ * Panel (sink).
+ *
+ * PSR saves power by caching the framebuffer in the panel RFB, which allows us
+ * to power down the link and memory controller. For DSI panels the same idea
+ * is called "manual mode".
+ *
+ * The implementation uses the hardware-based PSR support which automatically
+ * enters/exits self-refresh mode. The hardware takes care of sending the
+ * required DP aux message and could even retrain the link (that part isn't
+ * enabled yet though). The hardware also keeps track of any frontbuffer
+ * changes to know when to exit self-refresh mode again. Unfortunately that
+ * part doesn't work too well, hence why the i915 PSR support uses the
+ * software frontbuffer tracking to make sure it doesn't miss a screen
+ * update. For this integration intel_psr_invalidate() and intel_psr_flush()
+ * get called by the frontbuffer tracking code. Note that because of locking
+ * issues the self-refresh re-enable code is done from a work queue, which
+ * must be correctly synchronized/cancelled when shutting down the pipe."
