intel_dp_sync_state(9)

💅 intel_dp_sync_state(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that Kernel API Manual, the one we all pretend to read 🫶. Today's main character is intel_dp_sync_state, and she's here to do exactly one (1) thing really well.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_dp_sync_state — sync the encoder state during init/resume ✨

like, the encoder state gets its little glow-up so it matches reality. no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void intel_dp_sync_state (struct intel_encoder *encoder , const struct
intel_crtc_state *crtc_state );

that's it. that's the whole signature. she's giving minimal, she's giving concise, she's giving "void" because she returns literally nothing and honestly? iconic 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• encoder — the intel encoder you wanna sync, bestie. that's the one getting the vibe check 🧚
• crtc_state — the state for the CRTC that's connected to the encoder. you know, the CRTC. that one. 🌈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea ☕: this function syncs any state that's stored in the encoder with respect to (wrt., for the acronym girlies ✨) the HW state — and it does this specifically during driver init and system resume.

like, the hardware woke up and the encoder's stored state is still in its sleepy era 😭. intel_dp_sync_state walks in, matches them up, and goes "you two? same energy now. periodt." 👑

that's the whole job. no extra side quests. main character energy only 🔥
