VIDEO PROCESSING UNIT(9)
π Video Processing Unit π
okay so bestie, you've landed in the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β this is the Video Processing Unit(9) page, and it's lowkey the main character of global video processing energy π
β¨
The VPU handles the global video processing, and it includes management of the clocks gates, the blocks reset lines, and the power domains. That's the whole vibe check: clocks, resets, power domains. Slay π¦
π What is missing π
not me looking at this list like π β here's what's missing, fr fr:
- Full reset of entire video processing HW blocks
- Scaling and setup of the VPU clock
- Bus clock gates
- Powering up video processing HW blocks
- Powering Up HDMI controller and PHY
so yeah, bestie, those bits are not here yet. No cap. π«Ά

go read that file, it's iconic π
cute little sign-off time π this page is from the source path ./drivers/gpu/drm/meson, dated October 2026, and it's literally Video Processing Unit(9) β mwah, bye bestie πΈπ
