💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the drm_atomic_s...op_for_plane(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and the function we are literally obsessed with is drm_atomic_set_colorop_for_plane — it sets the colorop for a plane. no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

it's giving:

bool drm_atomic_set_colorop_for_plane (struct drm_plane_state
*plane_state , struct drm_colorop *colorop );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• plane_state — the atomic state object for the plane. this is the plane-state bestie you're handing over 💅
• colorop — the colorop to use for the plane. the one you want to put on the plane ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

this is a helper function, bestie. it selects the color pipeline on a plane by setting it to the first drm_colorop element of the pipeline. that's the whole job — very main character energy, very focused. 🫶

• true if the plane color pipeline value changed — slay, something moved ✅
• false otherwise — no change, no drama 💀
