🦋 __drm_atomi...licate_state(9) 💅

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's literally the whole __drm_atomic_helper_plane_duplicate_state situation. buckle up, it's short but it's iconic ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

__drm_atomic_helper_plane_duplicate_state — copy atomic plane state 🫶

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void __drm_atomic_helper_plane_duplicate_state (struct drm_plane *plane
, struct drm_plane_state *state );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• plane — the plane object, your main character here 👑
• state — the atomic plane state, the vibe we're copying 💫

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what it does is: copies atomic state from a plane's current state. that's it, that's the whole thing 🎀

and like — it's useful for drivers that subclass the plane state, no cap. that's the moment this function ate 🔥
