🌸 __drm_atomic_helper_bridge_state_init (9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and this page is literally all about __drm_atomic_helper_bridge_state_init 🎀 like yes, the name is a mouthful, we've all been there.

✨ NAME ✨

__drm_atomic_helper_bridge_state_init — Initialize a bridge state to its default 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __drm_atomic_helper_bridge_state_init (struct drm_bridge_state
*state , struct drm_bridge *bridge );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • state — the bridge state you're about to initialize, bestie 🫶
  • bridge — the bridge this state refers to, no cap 💫

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so first things first: state is assumed to be zeroed. like, it's giving "you already did your skincare, now we add the serum" — it has to be clean before this function touches it 🙈

This function initializes the bridge state to default values. it's meant to be called by the bridge drm_bridge_funcs.atomic_create_state hook, specifically for bridges that subclass the bridge state 👑 that's the whole vibe, iykyk.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨
