dpu_encoder_init(9)

💅 dpu_encoder_init(9) — Kernel API Manual energy ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to dpu_encoder_init 💖 this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally about spinning up a whole virtual encoder object. no cap, it's giving "main character gets created from scratch" 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

dpu_encoder_init — initialize virtual encoder object 🦋

like, it makes one. a virtual one. an encoder object. obsessed.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct drm_encoder * dpu_encoder_init (struct drm_device *dev , int
drm_enc_mode , struct msm_display_info *disp_info );

yes she returns a struct drm_encoder * and yes she takes three args, we'll get to them 💅

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• dev — Pointer to drm device structure. this is the drm device bestie, the whole vibe, the parent energy 👑
• drm_enc_mode — corresponding DRM_MODE_ENCODER_* constant. like whichever DRM_MODE_ENCODER_* constant matches, that's the one 🌀
• disp_info — Pointer to display information structure. the display info, pointed at, iconic 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Pointer to newly created drm encoder 🫶 — fresh out the oven, new drm encoder, pointer to it, periodt.

bestie there is a whole friend group here, i'm not skipping a single one, we love a complete list 💀✨

and that's the whole page bestie ✨💅

this little manual lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1, dated October 2026, and it's the dpu_encoder_init(9) page 🎀 go forth and initialize ur virtual encoder objects, mwah 💖🦋🌸
