okay so bestie, welcome to the Linux Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the mipi_dsi_dcs_enter_sleep_mode page, and honestly? iconic of you to look it up.

🎀 NAME 🎀

mipi_dsi_dcs_enter_sleep_mode — it disables all the unnecessary blocks inside the display module, keeping literally only the interface communication alive. like your display is going to sleep but the group chat stays open, yk? 💤

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mipi_dsi_dcs_enter_sleep_mode (struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dsi — the DSI peripheral device. that's your girl, the display module in question 🫶

---

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

This function is deprecated. Not me having to tell you this 😭 please use mipi_dsi_dcs_enter_sleep_mode_multi instead, fr fr. the old one is still here but she's retired, no cap.
