💅 intel_display_driver_resume_access ✨

okay so bestie, this is intel_display_driver_resume_access(9) — a kernel API manual page from the intel_display girlies, and she's literally the bouncer for display hardware access during resume. let's get into it 💖

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

intel_display_driver_resume_access — resume display HW access for the resume thread 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void intel_display_driver_resume_access (struct intel_display *display);

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• display — the display device instance. that's your girl, the whole vibe check of a display device 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what this does is, it enables display HW access for the current resume thread — and like, only the current resume thread. every other (user) thread stays locked out, access disabled, not invited to the party 🙈

examples of the kind of accesses we're talking about are modeset commits and connector probing. so like, real main-character hardware work.

the resume thread should only perform HW init programming (as in, the restoring modeset). that's the assignment, bestie, nothing else 🔥

this function should be followed by calling intel_display_driver_enable_user_access, after you finish the HW init programming steps. like, you don't just leave it hanging, that's rude 💀

✨ also important: this function should be called during system resume, before starting the HW init steps. timing matters, no cap.
