π drm_dp_mst_register_i2c_bus(9) β¨
okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about registering an I2C adapter for I2C-over-AUX π yes it's as niche as it sounds and yes we're gonna get through it together, no cap.
β¨ NAME β¨
drm_dp_mst_register_i2c_bus β register an I2C adapter for I2C-over-AUX π¦
π SYNOPSIS π
int drm_dp_mst_register_i2c_bus (struct drm_dp_mst_port *port );
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
portβ the port you want to add the I2C bus on, periodt. that's the whole argument, she's lowkey simple π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the vibe check: this returns 0 on success, or a negative error code on failure π that's it. that's the description. no lore, no backstory, just vibes and a return value.
ngl bestie, this one is short β but don't let the length fool you, an error code is an error code and you will be checking it π
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
the friend group, the whole group chat, the entire ensemble cast β literally everyone shows up here π

cute little sign-off before you go: this gorgeous thing lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/display and it's dated October 2026 β so when you're deep in the MST topology code and someone asks where you got your info, you can say a very loud, very confident manual page told you π
