Lucas Stach 6ec7e0d406 gallium: document convention for get_handle calls on multi-planar resources
There are resources that may have more planes than chained resources. The
frontend has no way of figuring out which (if any) chained resource is the
right one to call resource_get_handle with and until a (now reverted)
change to the dri frontend it just always called with the first resource.

The convention of calling with the first resource of a chain allows the
pipe driver, which has the necessary information of how resources and
planes map to each other for a specific format/modifier combination, to do
the necessary walking. Document this as the official calling convention
of this function.

`Mesa <https://mesa3d.org>`_ - The 3D Graphics Library
======================================================


Source
------

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.rst
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use
Meson (`docs/meson.rst <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_):

.. code-block:: sh

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ meson ..
  $ sudo ninja install


Support
-------

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `Freenode's #dri-devel
<irc://chat.freenode.net#dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your
question, check out `Who's Who on IRC
<https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/WhosWho/>`_.

The next best option is to ask your question in an email to the
mailing lists: `mesa-dev\@lists.freedesktop.org
<https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`_


Bug reports
-----------

If you think something isn't working properly, please file a bug report
(`docs/bugs.rst <https://mesa3d.org/bugs.html>`_).


Contributing
------------

Contributions are welcome, and step-by-step instructions can be found in our
documentation (`docs/submittingpatches.rst
