acpi_graph_ignore_port(9)

Okay bestie, this is the acpi_graph_ignore_port(9) page — Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it’s literally here to answer one question: should this port node be ignored? 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

acpi_graph_ignore_port — Tell whether a port node should be ignored. That’s it, that’s the whole assignment. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here’s the signature in all its glory — one function, one argument, no cap:

bool acpi_graph_ignore_port (acpi_handle handle );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• handle — The ACPI handle of the node (which may be a port node). So yes, it could be a port node — keep that in mind, babe. 🫶

🌸 RETURN 🌸

It returns true if a port node should be ignored and the data to that should come from other sources instead — specifically Windows ACPI definitions and ipu-bridge. This is currently used to ignore bad port nodes related to IPU6 ("IPU?") and camera sensor devices ("LNK?") in certain Dell systems with Intel VSC. So if your port node is giving bad-vibes energy in one of those setups, this is the check doing the work. 💀
