dpu_encoder_phys_vid_init(9)

🌸 dpu_encoder_phys_vid_init(9) — the video-mode physical encoder init moment 🌸

Okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, obviously), and it's literally all about constructing a new video mode physical encoder. The way this function just initializes a physical video encoder? Obsessed. 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

dpu_encoder_phys_vid_init — Construct a new video mode physical encoder 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• dev — Corresponding device for devres management. Like, this is the device that's handling the devres situation for you 🫶
• p — Pointer to init params structure. It's giving "here's the setup info" vibes ✨

✨ RETURN ✨

Returns an error code or a newly allocated encoder. So bestie, check the return: error code means no encoder, newly allocated encoder means you ate 💅🔥
