okay so real quick: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is drm_bridge_add(9). buckle up bestie 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_bridge_add — register a bridge, that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void drm_bridge_add (struct drm_bridge *bridge );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bridge — the bridge control structure, aka the little guy you're about to introduce to everyone 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea: this function adds the bridge you pass in to the global list of bridges, which is where everyone else can find it later via of_drm_find_and_get_bridge. it's literally giving "welcome to the group chat" energy 👑

⚠️ but fr fr, the bridge you're adding must have been allocated by devm_drm_bridge_alloc. no cap, that's a requirement, not a suggestion 💀
