mdp5_ctl_set_encoder_state(9)

✨ mdp5_ctl_set_encoder_state ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the mdp5_ctl_set_encoder_state(9) page — this is a kernel API manual moment, and honestly? lowkey iconic. it lives in the mdp5_ctl family of functions, so if you're here you're already doing something very MSM-display-coded. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME🌸

mdp5_ctl_set_encoder_state — literally just "set the encoder state", like the name says, no notes, slay 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mdp5_ctl_set_encoder_state (struct mdp5_ctl *ctl , struct
       mdp5_pipeline *pipeline , bool enabled );

that's the whole vibe: it returns an int, it takes three things, and it's ready for you. 👑

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• ctl — the CTL instance, aka your main character object here. everything happens through it. 🫶
• pipeline — the encoder's INTF + MIXER configuration, so like, which interface and which mixer are we talking about. that's the whole setup. 🌈
• enabled — this one's a bool, and it's the switch: true when the encoder is ready for data streaming; false, otherwise. periodt. ✅

---

⭐ NOTE ⭐

this encoder state is needed to trigger the START signal (data path kickoff). fr fr — no state, no kickoff. that's the whole reason this function exists and you should absolutely not skip it. 🔥

💀 bestie heads up: this is needed for that START signal. it's a NOTE in the original and it's a NOTE here. don't forget it. 💀

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

• Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/mdp5/mdp5_ctl.c — go read the source, it's giving open book 📖
• mdp5_ctl_commit(9) — the sibling function, also very much worth your time ✨

so yeah, that's the page. mdp5_ctl_set_encoder_state(9) straight out of ./drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/mdp5, this manual page is dated October 2026, and it's from the Kernel API Manual. mwah, go stream some data, you got this 💜🌸🎀
