okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're being fancy today π ) and it's all about one very specific little function. she's niche, she's lowkey iconic, and she has a very long name. let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
get_ss_entry_number_from_ss_info_tbl β that's it, that's the whole name, and no cap it's a mouthful π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
uint32_t get_ss_entry_number_from_ss_info_tbl (struct bios_parser *bp ,
uint32_t id );
like, look at her go. uint32_t in, uint32_t out, two args, slay β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
bpβ pointer to the BIOS parser. literally just a pointer to the BIOS parser, bestie, nothing spooky πidβ the spread spectrum id. that's the little identifier you're hunting for π
β DESCRIPTION β
so what does she actually do? Get Number of spread spectrum entry from the SS_Info table from the VBIOS. that's the whole vibe β you hand her an id, she goes digging in the VBIOS SS_Info table, and she comes back with the number of the entry. main character energy fr fr π
π₯ RETURN π₯
number of SS Entry that match the id. that's what you get back, periodt π
π NOTE π
There can only be one entry for each id for SS_Info Table. so like... don't go expecting a crowd, bestie, it's a one-entry-per-id situation. no duplicates, no drama π
ngl this is the kind of note you read once and then forget, and then it bites you. respect the uniqueness constraint, i'm begging π₯Ί

and that's the page!! she lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/... and the version/date stamp on this one is October 2026 β yes, future girl hours π°οΈβ¨ go read the source, stay hydrated, and remember: one entry per id or it's on sight π«Άππ
