💖 cdv_intel_lvds_init(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is a lil function page for cdv_intel_lvds_init(9) and honestly it's giving "small but mighty" energy. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

cdv_intel_lvds_init — setup LVDS connectors on this device 🫶

like, that's literally her whole job. she sets up the LVDS connectors on this device. iconic.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void cdv_intel_lvds_init (struct drm_device *dev , struct
psb_intel_mode_device *mode_dev );

no cap, that's the exact signature, don't come for me 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the drm device 🖥️ literally the device we're out here doing stuff to
• mode_dev — the PSB mode device 🌈 her mode-y little sidekick

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕ this function does three things and she does them well:

1. create the connector 🔌
2. register the LVDS DDC bus 🚌
3. try to figure out what modes we can display on the LVDS panel — if present 👀

that "if present" is doing a lot of work ngl, so don't assume there's always a panel to play with 🙈

bestie note: it says try to figure out the modes — that's the manpage's wording, not me being shady. it's a try situation, fr fr 💀
