dpu_encoder..._for_kickoff(9)

✨ dpu_encoder_prepare_for_kickoff 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for dpu_encoder..._for_kickoff(9) — yes that's the abbreviated name, drink some water before you try to say it out loud 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

dpu_encoder_prepare_for_kickoff — schedule a double buffer flip of the ctl path (i.e. ctl flush and start) at the next appropriate time. Two moods, bestie:

• Immediately: if no previous commit is outstanding.
• Delayed: Block until next trigger can be issued.

it's giving "wait your turn but make it ✨framebuffer✨" no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void dpu_encoder_prepare_for_kickoff (struct drm_encoder *drm_enc );

yep that's the whole thing, she's a void, she returns nothing, she simply is 💜

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• drm_enc — encoder pointer. that's it. that's the argument. point her at your encoder and go 🌈
