💅 dce8_check_latency_hiding — check latency hiding

okay bestie so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's all about one lil function that does a vibe check on your display's bandwidth. buckle up 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool dce8_check_latency_hiding (struct dce8_wm_params *wm );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • wm — the watermark calculation data 💧 like, this is the whole snack tray of numbers the function needs to do its thing.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕ — this one checks latency hiding (CIK). it's used for display watermark bandwidth calculations, and it literally just returns true if the display fits, and false if it doesn't. that's it. that's the whole function. lowkey iconic for how straightforward it is 💅✨

like, no cap, it's giving "am I gonna fit in these jeans" but for display bandwidth 🫶
