mipi_dbi_hw_reset(9)
π mipi_dbi_hw_reset β the Kernel API Manual tea π«
Okay bestie, so we're diving into the Linux kernel docs, specifically the mipi_dbi_hw_reset page from the Kernel API Manual. Buckle up, it's giving β¨driversβ¨ energy.
πΈ NAME πΈ
mipi_dbi_hw_reset β Hardware reset of controller π₯
Like, literally the hardware reset of the controller. That's the whole vibe check. Iconic, honestly.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void mipi_dbi_hw_reset (struct mipi_dbi *dbi );
No cap, that's the whole signature. She's simple, she's clean, she takes one pointer and she goes. π₯
π ARGUMENTS π
dbiβ the MIPI DBI structure, bestie. This is your main character struct, the one whoseresetgpio we're about to check on. π
π DESCRIPTION π
So the vibe here: it resets the controller if the mipi_dbi->reset gpio is set. That's the condition, okay? Not just any old reset β she only pops off when that gpio is actually set. Periodt. π
Ngl, if the gpio isn't set, don't expect a hardware reset. That's just the rules. π

And that's the tea, bestie! Shoutout to the fine folks at ./drivers/gpu/drm for blessing us with this page, dated October 2026, part of the Kernel API Manual for mipi_dbi_hw_reset(9). Slay, stay reset, and remember: only if the gpio is set πβ¨π
