docs: drm: remove no longer relevant TODO entry
This entry asked to rename all drm core "*_reference/_unrefence"
functions to "*_get/_put".
Now that this task is complete, we can remove this entry from the TODO
list.

Needs to be done in 3 steps for each pair of functions: - -* Create new ``get``/``put`` functions, define the old names as compatibility - wrappers -* Switch over each file/driver using a cocci-generated spatch. -* Once all users of the old names are gone, remove them. - -This way drivers/patches in the progress of getting merged won't break. - -Contact: Daniel Vetter - Convert existing KMS drivers to atomic modesetting -------------------------------------------------- |
