DSI HELPERS(9)

🎀 dsi helpers 💅

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual — it's the dsi helpers entry (section 9), and it's literally the common-logic-and-helpers bestie for dealing with MIPI DSI peripherals. These functions contain some common logic and helpers for exactly that job. ✨

Helpers are provided for a number of standard MIPI DSI command as well as a subset of the MIPI DCS command set. both. it's giving “support squad,” no cap. 🫶
