✨ dpu_encoder_helper_get_cwb_mask ✨

okay bestie so you found yourself in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-api girlies) and the page is literally called dpu_encoder...get_cwb_mask(9) β€” say that five times fast, i can't 🫢. It's giving "one tiny helper function that does exactly one thing and we love her for it." Let's get into it πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

dpu_encoder_helper_get_cwb_mask β€” the girl who gets the CWB blocks mask for the DPU encoder. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it immaculately πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

*phys_enc );

not me writing unsigned int in 2026... anyway she returns an unsigned int, no cap 😭

that's the whole page, you ate that πŸ’…βœ¨ source vibes come straight from ./drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1 and the date stamp says October 2026 β€” yes it's from the future, no we're not explaining that, bye bestie πŸ¦‹πŸ’–πŸŽ€
