✨ drmm_panel_bridge_add(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the drmm_panel_bridge_add(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's short and sweet and lowkey iconic — it's the DRM-managed glow-up of a panel bridge, and honestly? she slays.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

drmm_panel_bridge_add — creates a DRM-managed &drm_bridge and &drm_connector that just calls the appropriate functions from &drm_panel.

like, that's the whole vibe. a bridge and a connector that are basically just politely forwarding calls to the panel. no cap. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct drm_bridge * drmm_panel_bridge_add (struct drm_device *drm ,
struct drm_panel *panel );

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• drm — the DRM device you're tying the bridge's lifetime to 🫶 she's the main character here, the bridge lives and dies with her.
• panel — the drm_panel being wrapped. Must be non-NULL. fr fr, do not pass NULL, that's not the move 🙈

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So here's the tea: this is the DRM-managed version of drm_panel_bridge_add, and the way that it just automatically calls drm_panel_bridge_remove when dev is cleaned up? obsessed. 🔥

You don't have to remember to tear it down yourself — cleanup is handled for you. main character energy for real. 👑
