πŸ’… intel_crtc_debugfs_add πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil function from the i915 display corner of the kernel, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty" energy πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_crtc_debugfs_add β€” the girl whose whole job is adding i915-specific crtc debugfs files πŸ’– no cap, that's literally it.


⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void intel_crtc_debugfs_add (struct intel_crtc *crtc );

that's the whole vibe. returns nothing (void, iconic, unbothered), takes exactly one thing, and gets straight to work 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • crtc β€” a pointer to a drm_crtc, that's it, that's the whole parameter πŸ’… give her the crtc and she'll handle the rest ✨

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so here's the tea β˜• β€” if adding those debugfs entries fails? generally just ignore it πŸ™ˆ no cap. like, it's not a crisis, it's not main character energy, it's just... ignore it. lowkey the most chill error handling in the whole kernel, periodt πŸ’€

fr fr bestie, "should generally be ignored" is a direct quote from the vibe check β€” don't go turning a failed debugfs add into a whole dramatic saga 😭
