okay bestie, welcome to this lil page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ it’s all about intel_dp_link_symbol_size, and yes we’re keeping the units because units are iconic 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_dp_link_symbol_size — get the link symbol size for a given link rate 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int intel_dp_link_symbol_size (int rate );

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• rate — link rate in 10kbit/s units. lowkey important: those are the units, bestie 💖

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This function returns the link symbol size in bits/symbol units depending on the link rate -> channel coding. that’s the whole vibe: it’s giving “rate goes in, channel-coding-dependent symbol size comes out” energy 🌈
