typo "PRIME"

If you're doing to document things please mention all the options -
you've missed the following two.
#define DRM_UT_ATOMIC           0x10
#define DRM_UT_VBL              0x20

Thanks

Please keep it as "Enable".

Maybe prefix the continuation lines with a space or a tab? The last line
probably shouldn't contain \n. See what modinfo(8) displays and make it
pretty.
