drm_atomic_h...estroy_state(9)

💅 drm_atomic_h...estroy_state (9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in DRM bridge land, everything's atomic, everything's vibing, and then somebody has to clean up. That's this page. Welcome to the cleanup era. ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

drm_atomic_helper_bridge_destroy_state — literally just destroys a bridge state object. That's it. That's the whole job. And she does it flawlessly. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void drm_atomic_helper_bridge_destroy_state (struct drm_bridge *bridge ,
struct drm_bridge_state *state );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• bridge — the bridge this state refers to 🫶 like, the bridge it belongs to, its home, its main character.
• state — the bridge state you want to destroy 🙈 say bye bestie.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what she does is: she destroys a bridge state that was previously created by &drm_atomic_helper_bridge_create_state or &drm_atomic_helper_bridge_duplicate_state. No cap, that's the whole thing.

The tea ☕ is that this helper is meant to be used as a bridge drm_bridge_funcs.atomic_destroy_state hook — for bridges that don't subclass the bridge state. That's the vibe check. If you do subclass it, this isn't your girl. iykyk.
