dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_init(9)

💖 dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_init(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_init page from the Kernel API Manual — section 9, kernel-space girlie territory. this one is short and sweet and it's giving "one job, does it well." let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_init — Construct a new command mode physical encoder 💅

like, literally, that's the whole gig. it builds you a brand-new physical encoder that speaks command mode. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct dpu_encoder_phys * dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_init (struct drm_device
*dev , struct dpu_enc_phys_init_params *p );

that's it, that's the signature, exact characters, don't @ me 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the corresponding device, bestie. it's the struct drm_device * that's gonna handle all the devres management for you. think of it as the responsible friend holding your stuff while you allocate ✨
• p — a pointer to the init params structure (struct dpu_enc_phys_init_params *). all the setup deets live in here. you gotta hand it over, no shortcuts 🙈

---

👑 RETURN 👑

it gives you back either an error code (😭) or a newly allocated encoder (🔥). that's the whole vibe check — success or the error code, nothing else.

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder_phys_cmd.c — go read the source, iykyk 💜

---

ok so real talk: this page is tiny but every single word is load-bearing. dev manages devres, p is your params pointer, and the return is an error code or the freshly allocated encoder. nothing more, nothing less. slay. 💅

and that's the page, babe! 🌸 this icon was brought to you by the ./drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1 source tree, dated October 2026, living its best life in the Kernel API Manual. mwah, go write some encoders 💖✨🎀
