🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_mode_set_config_internal — the helper that calls &drm_mode_config_funcs.set_config for you 💫

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int drm_mode_set_config_internal (struct drm_mode_set *set );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• set — the modeset config you wanna set, that's her, that's the main character 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: this is a little helper that wraps up the internal calls to the drm_mode_config_funcs.set_config driver interface. like, it's basically a hype friend who does the introduction for you 🤝

the only extra thing it brings to the table? a correct refcounting dance 💃 no cap, that's genuinely the whole flex — it does the refcount choreography properly so you don't have to.

important bestie warning: this should only be used by non-atomic legacy drivers. fr fr, legacy only. if you're atomic, this is not your era 🙈

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• Zero on success 🎉
• negative errno on failure 😭 (yeah, negative, it's giving "read the errno, babe")
