mipi_dsi_co...n_mode_multi(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ mipi_dsi_co...n_mode_multi(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so before we even start, yes, the title up there is literally chopped (mipi_dsi_co...n_mode_multi(9)), the manpage generator fumbled the bag on the long name, but the function we're actually talking about is mipi_dsi_compression_mode_multi and she is the moment 💅 don't let the ellipsis confuse you.

🎀 NAME

mipi_dsi_compression_mode_multi — turn DSC on or off on the peripheral, that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS

void mipi_dsi_compression_mode_multi (struct mipi_dsi_multi_context *ctx
, bool enable );

ngl she returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one, periodt ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS

  • ctx — the context for multiple DSI transactions. yeah bestie, the whole multi situation lives in here 🫶
  • enable — a bool that says whether to enable or disable the DSC. you're basically the switch 🔥

👑 DESCRIPTION

okay so what this does is enable or disable Display Stream Compression on the peripheral — and the key detail (do NOT skip this, iykyk) is that she does it using the default Picture Parameter Set and the VESA DSC 1.1 algorithm 💅 so if you were out here expecting to hand-pick your own PPS, no ma'am, that's not this function, the defaults are already baked in and honestly she ate 🌈

so like: enable = true → compression ON, enable = false → compression OFF. iconic, straightforward, no cap 💜

lowkey go read mipi_dsi_compression_mode_ext(9) and mipi_dsi_compression_mode(9) too if you want the non-_multi siblings, they're literally right there in the list bestie 🫶

sign-off time 🎀✨ this lil page lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, she's from the future, main character energy fr fr 💀👑 bye bestie, go enable some DSC responsibly 🌸🦋💖
