📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for drm_dp_link_symbol_cycles(9) ✨ this one is short and sweet and it does literally one job: math 💖

✨ NAME ✨

drm_dp_link_symbol_cycles — calculate the link symbol count with/without dsc 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int drm_dp_link_symbol_cycles (int lane_count , int pixels , int
       dsc_slice_count , int bpp_x16 , int symbol_size , bool is_mst );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • lane_count — DP link lane count, like how many lanes we're serving with 🛣️
  • pixels — number of pixels in a scanline, the raw pixel count bestie 👑
  • dsc_slice_count — number of slices for DSC, or 0 for non-DSC 🍰
  • bpp_x16 — bits per pixel in .4 binary fixed format, yes it's fancy like that 💅
  • symbol_size — DP symbol size ⭐
  • is_mst — true for MST and false for SST 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Calculate the link symbol cycles for both the DSC case (dsc_slice_count !=0) and the non-DSC case (dsc_slice_count == 0) and return the count 🧚

that's it. that's the whole function. it does the math, it hands you back a count, no drama, no cap 💜
