okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and yes the header is abbreviating the name as get_ss_entry...nfo_tbl_V3_1(9) because that full function name is literally a whole paragraph, we're not doing that in a title. This is the DRM/AMD display bios parser corner of the kernel and it's lowkey iconic.
β¨ NAME β¨
get_ss_entry_number_from_internal_ss_info_tbl_V3_1 β and that's it, that's the whole name, no little tagline after the dash, the dash is just vibing there π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
uint32_t get_ss_entry_number_from_internal_ss_info_tbl_V3_1 (struct
bios_parser *bp , uint32_t id );
π ARGUMENTS π
bpβ pointer to the BIOS parser. your main character struct, it goes first, it always goes first πidβ spread sprectrum id. (yes, "sprectrum", that's genuinely how it's spelled here, no I will not be fixing it, we respect the original ~~typo~~ lore β¨)
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so what this does is: it gets the Number of SpreadSpectrum Entry from the ASIC_InternalSS_Info table of the VBIOS, and it only counts the ones that match id. like, it's the V3_1 version of the internal SS info table lookup, so if you're thinking "isn't there a v2_1 version" β yes bestie there is, see the SEE ALSO, it's all connected π
π RETURN π
the number of SS Entry that match the id. that's the return, that's the whole vibe, a uint32_t worth of matched entries π

ngl there are two nearly-identical..._internal_ss_info_tbl_...variants in that list (V2_1andv2_1) and the case difference is real, so double-check which one you're calling before you ship it. no cap. π
