ips_gpu_raise(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the ips_gpu_raise(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this one is, literally:

ips_gpu_raise - raise GPU power clamp ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ips_gpu_raise (struct ips_driver *ips );

it’s a void function, so no return value, and it takes exactly one argument 🎀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ips — the IPS driver struct 👑 that’s the whole argument, no cap.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the vibe is: raise the GPU frequency/power if possible 🔥. and for this case, we need to call into the i915 driver. that’s it, that’s the function 🫶
