Someone owes me a beer ...

While typing these I think doing an s/component_master/aggregate/
would be useful:
- it's shorter :-)
- I think component/aggregate is much more meaningful naming than
  component/puppetmaster or something like that. At least to my
  English ear "aggregate" emphasizes much more the "assemble a pile of
  things into something bigger" aspect, and there's not really much
  of a control hierarchy between aggregate and constituing components.

But that's way more than a quick doc typing exercise ...

Thanks to Ram for commenting on an initial draft of these docs.

+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * The component frameworks allows drivers to collect a pile of sub-devices,
+ * including their bound drivers, into an aggregate driver. Various subsystem
+ * already provide functions to get hold of such components, e.g.
+ * of_clk_get_by_name(). Anytime there's such a subsystem specific way to find a
+ * a device the component framework should not be used. The component framework
+ * fills the niche of aggregate drivers for specific hardware, where further
+ * standardization into a subsystem doesn't make sense. The common example is
+ * when a logical device (e.g. a DRM display driver) is spread around the SoC on
+ * various component (scanout engines, blending blocks, transcoders for various
+ * outputs and so on).
+ *
+ * The component framework also doesn't solve runtime dependencies, e.g. for
+ * system suspend and resume operations. See also :ref:`device
+ * links<device_link>`.
+ *
+ * Components are registered using component_add() and unregistered with
+ * component_del(), usually from the driver's probe and disconnect functions.
+ *
+ * Aggregate drivers first assemble a component match list of what they need
+ * using component_match_add(). This is then registered as an aggregate driver
+ * using component_master_add_with_match(), and unregistered using
+ * component_master_del().
