dcn60_popula...c_mode_limit(9)
β¨ NAME β¨
ok so bestie, this is dcn60_populate_dc_mode_limit β a little function living in the 9 section of the Kernel API Manual, and its whole vibe is populating DC mode limits from the DAL init table π
like that's literally its job, no cap.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void dcn60_populate_dc_mode_limit (struct clk_limit_table_entry
*dc_limit , const DalInitTable_t *init_table );
it returns void btw β no return value, she just does the thing and leaves π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
dc_limitβ this one is the output, okay? it's the DC mode limit you're populating. she's getting filled in, main character energy πinit_tableβ the DAL init table, and it's transferred from PMFW. const because we're just reading her, not touching π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so here's the tea: this function sets the DC mode max frequency for each clock β°β¨
and there's this one little detail that's honestly iconic β if DcMaxClock equals the highest DPM level, then the limit gets set to 0. and that 0 means no DC-specific cap π like it just steps out of the way and lets the clock cook π₯
so yeah. max frequency per clock, and that sneaky little 0 special case. iykyk π

and that's the page bestie!! π brought to you by ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/..., dated October 2026, and yes the header up top really does abbreviate to dcn60_popula...c_mode_limit(9) β they said we're keeping it short and mysterious πβ¨ slay.
