Can anyone explain what the acronym DC stands for in these emails? (managed to get most of the others, but googling DC kernel doesn't turn up much :) )

Display core. From a message upthread:

We propose to use the Display Core (DC) driver for display support on AMD's upcoming GPU (referred to by uGPU in the rest of the doc). In order to avoid a flag day the plan is to only support uGPU initially and transition to older ASICs gradually.

The DC component has received extensive testing within AMD for DCE8, 10, and 11 GPUs and is being prepared for uGPU. Support should be better than amdgpu's current display support.
