π amdgpu_device_program_register_sequence(9) π
okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie β welcome to the register-programming corner of the kernel, it's giving "golden registers era" β¨
π NAME π
amdgpu_device_program_register_sequence β literally programs an array of registers. that's it, that's the whole vibe π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void amdgpu_device_program_register_sequence (struct amdgpu_device *adev
, const u32 *registers , const u32 array_size );
like, three args, no return value, in and out. slay π«Ά
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
adevβ youramdgpu_devicepointer, aka the main character πregistersβ pointer to the register array. yes, the actual list of regs, no caparray_sizeβ the size of the register array. it needs to know how many, obviously π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so what it does: it programs an array of registers with and/or masks π and like, that's it β this is the helper for setting golden registers. iconic little utility function, does one job, does it well. periodt β¨
π SEE ALSO π

ok that's a LOT of see-alsos but like, they're all in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu so it's basically one big found family π«Ά no gatekeeping here π
that's the whole page bestie!! from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and yeah the title up top is amdgpu_devi...ter_sequence(9) π
mwah, go program some golden registers, you got this πππ
