πŸ’… VC4 KMS πŸ’…

okay so real quick bestie β€” this page comes straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the shortest little page ever, so let's not drag it out πŸ’–


✨ NAME ✨

VC4 KMS β€” no cap, this is just the general home for all the code that makes KMS mode setting happen when it doesn't clearly belong to any of the other objects. Like, if it's not obviously a plane, a crtc, or an HDMI encoder, it's chilling right here instead 🫢

Think of it as the group chat where the mode-setting code hangs out when it doesn't have a main character object to call home. iconic behavior honestly πŸ‘‘
