π get_ss_info_from_tbl(9)
okay so you're in the Kernel API Manual bestie, welcome, this is the get_ss_info_from_tbl(9) page and it's literally all about pulling spread spectrum info out of a table π
β¨ NAME β¨
get_ss_info_from_tbl β
and that's it. that's the description. the man page really said "no thoughts, head empty" π the name is there, the blurb is not. we move.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
enum bp_result get_ss_info_from_tbl (struct bios_parser *bp , uint32_t
id , struct spread_spectrum_info *ss_info );
look at her. she takes three things and returns an enum bp_result. slay π
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
bpβ pointer to the BIOS parser. that's your parser babe, hand her over π«Άidβ spread sprectrum info index. yes, "sprectrum". not me spelling it like that, that's straight from the source, iykyk π it's the index of the spread spectrum info you wantss_infoβ sprectrum information structure. the struct where the info lands. again with the sprectrum. we respect the lore β¨
π DESCRIPTION π
so what does she actually do? she gets spread sprectrum information from the ASIC_InternalSS_Info Ver 2.1 table, or the SS_Info table, out of the VBIOS. lowkey iconic behavior π
and here's the tea, the important bit, do NOT skip this:
there can not be more than 1 entry for ASIC_InternalSS_Info Ver 2.1 or SS_Info. one. singular. that's the rule, periodt π
β RETURN β
returns a BIOS parser result code. that's it, that's the whole return section, she's brief and she knows it π

and that's the page bestie!! sign-off time: this lil gem lives over in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/... and it's dated October 2026 β and the header still says get_ss_info_from_tbl(9) because she's consistent π mwah, go forth and call your tables πβ¨
