💖 intel_th_output_enable(9) 💖

okay bestie, this one is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving “find and enable a device for a given output type” — literally the whole point. periodt. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

intel_th_output_enable — find and enable a device for a given output type 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int intel_th_output_enable (struct intel_th *th , unsigned int otype );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• th — the Intel TH instance, like the main character of this operation 💫
• otype — the output type you're hunting for 🔍

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the tea: it goes through the unallocated output devices, finds the first one whose type matches otype, and instantiates it. slay, honestly. ✨

These devices are removed when the hub device is removed — see intel_th_remove. no cap, that's the cleanup vibe. 🧹
