✨ color-management-caps(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this is the page for color-management-caps, and honestly? it's a little niche but it ate. let's get into it 🫶

🌈 NAME 🌈

Color management caps (DPP and MPC) — the whole vibe of this page, no cap 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: Modules/color is out here calculating all kinds of color operations, and those get translated to abstracted HW. slay. ✨

now, here's the tea 🍓: DCE 5-12 had, like, almost no important changes. basically stable era, main character energy that never switched up. but then DCN1 walked in 💀 and ever since? every single new generation comes with fairly major differences in the color pipeline. not a little. fairly major. it's giving glow-up every release 🔥

so that's the why behind this whole thing: we abstract color pipe capabilities so that modules/DM can decide the mapping to the HW block based on logical capabilities. basically we're describing what the pipeline can do instead of hardcoding what the silicon is, and honestly? iconic 👑
