MAX_DAC_LINK_ENCODERS(9)

okay bestie, welcome to MAX_DAC_LINK_ENCODERS(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, we're doing kernel display hardware tea today, and it's gonna be short but iconic 🫶✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

MAX_DAC_LINK_ENCODERS — the maximum number of analog link encoders, periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

MAX_DAC_LINK_ENCODERS

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: analog encoders are ENGINE_ID_DACA/B. There are at most 2 of them, but plot twist — not every GPU may have that many. Modern GPUs typically don't have analog encoders at all, ngl. So this constant is basically the ceiling for how many analog link encoders you might see, not a promise that your GPU is serving DACA/B realness 😭

• MAX_LINK_ENCODERS(9) — also in the see-also squad 💅

xoxo, your kernel-fluent girlie 💖 source/version: ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/..., dated October 2026, and it's literally MAX_DAC_LINK_ENCODERS(9) — slay and read the source, periodt 🌈💅
