✨ NAME ✨

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

So here's the tea, bestie πŸ«–: when you reset a CRTC and there's literally no existing state β€” like, none, zero, nada β€” the reset must allocate a brand-new drm_crtc_state and install it. that's the whole test. that's the assignment. it's giving "out with the old, in with the shiny new state" energy ✨

no existing state in, fresh state out. icon behaviour, honestly. πŸ™ˆ
