💅 devm_drm_panel_bridge_add(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for devm_drm_panel_bridge_add(9) — yes the whole manual is literally named that, we're fancy like that 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

devm_drm_panel_bridge_add — Creates a managed &drm_bridge and &drm_connector that just calls the appropriate functions from &drm_panel. Like, it's giving "wrapper with main character energy" and honestly? Obsessed 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct drm_bridge * devm_drm_panel_bridge_add (struct device *dev ,
       struct drm_panel *panel );

no cap, that's the whole signature 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the device to tie the bridge lifetime to. it's literally the keeper of the vibes, the bridge lives and dies with it 🦋
• panel — The drm_panel being wrapped. Must be non-NULL. like, it cannot be NULL, that's not a suggestion, that's the rule ⚠️

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this is the managed version of drm_panel_bridge_add, and the way that it's managed is that it automatically calls drm_panel_bridge_remove when dev is unbound. it cleans up after itself, periodt. main character who also does their own dishes 💅✨
