✨ dm_test_add_common_modes_non_edp_noop(9) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today (yes, that's the manual name, it's giving very "kernel dev at 2am" energy 🫢) and this page is all about dm_test_add...non_edp_noop(9). Don't let the truncated title scare you β€” that's just how the header rolls around here. πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

dm_test_add_common_modes_non_edp_noop β€” the test that proves non-eDP/LVDS adds no modes. Literally. It's a noop. That's the whole vibe check and it passes. ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void dm_test_add_common_modes_non_edp_noop (struct kunit *test );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • test β€” the KUnit test context. That's it, that's the whole cast of characters. Give her the context and she'll do the rest πŸ‘‘

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's the tea πŸ“: common scaled modes are only added for eDP/LVDS panels. So when the connector is HDMI? Nothing happens to it. Untouched. Left absolutely unbothered, main character energy, no modes added, no notes. 😌

fr fr β€” this test exists specifically to confirm that a non-eDP/LVDS connector doesn't get common modes dumped on it. If something did get added, the test would be very much not slaying.

like, that's the whole group chat and every single one of them ate πŸ’… no cap, nothing skipped.


and that's the page, bestie πŸŽ€ sign-off time: this absolutely iconic piece of documentation comes from the source ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/... and it's dated October 2026 β€” so yes, the future called and it wants its manpage back. πŸ¦‹β­πŸ™ˆ
