intel_dmc_load_program(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for intel_dmc_load_program(9) — and it does exactly what it says on the tin: it writes the firmware from memory to register. slay. ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void intel_dmc_load_program (struct intel_display *display );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• display — display instance. that's the whole vibe check for this one. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: DMC firmware is read from a .bin file and kept in internal memory one time. 🫶

Everytime the display comes back from low power state, this function is called to copy the firmware from internal memory to registers. it's giving "wake up bestie, time to reload the firmware" energy. no cap. 🔥
