✨ NAME ✨

gfx_v7_0_constants_init — setup the 3D engine 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void gfx_v7_0_constants_init (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

that's it. one function, one argument, no return value (void, she gives nothing back and that's her right 👑).

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adev — an amdgpu_device pointer. that's the device handle you're handing over, bestie 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she actually do? she inits the gfx constants — the 3D engine, the tiling configuration registers, the maximum number of quad pipes, the render backends... all that good stuff ✨ literally the whole vibe of the 3D engine getting its setup moment.

like, think of it as the function that goes "okay bestie, here's your 3D engine, here's your tiling config, here's how many quad pipes you max out at, here's your render backends" and then it just... makes it real. no cap 💅
