__drm_atomi...i_state_init(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this whole page is about __drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_state_init — the function that initializes all the HDMI @drm_connector_state resources. that's it, that's the whole assignment. 💅

quick vibe check: this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and the title is technically abbreviated as __drm_atomi...i_state_init(9) because somebody's terminal was too narrow to handle the full name — iconic but also tragic 😭

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_state_init (struct drm_connector
*connector , struct drm_connector_state *new_conn_state );

that's a void function, no return value, we don't do receipts here 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• connector — a DRM connector. the whole point. the main character.
• new_conn_state — the connector state you want to initialize. give it the glow-up ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: this function initializes all the HDMI resources from a drm_connector_state without actually allocating it. no malloc energy, no commitment, we're just setting the vibe. 🙈

it's genuinely made for HDMI drivers, and it really shines when you pair it up with:

• __drm_atomic_helper_connector_state_init
• drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset
• drm_atomic_helper_connector_create_state

think of it as the "get ready with me" step before the actual allocation happens. lowkey essential, highkey underrated. 🔥

kay that's the whole page, bestie — sending you off with love from ./drivers/gpu/drm/display, dated October 2026. slay, study it, and may your connector states always be initialized correctly. periodt. 💜✨
