mipi_dsi_dcs...ear_scanline(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is the mipi_dsi_dcs...ear_scanline(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ and it’s all about mipi_dsi_dcs_set_tear_scanline — literally the function that sets the scanline to use as trigger for the Tearing Effect output signal of the display module 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int mipi_dsi_dcs_set_tear_scanline (struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi , u16
       scanline );

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• dsi — DSI peripheral device. That’s your display-link bestie 💅
• scanline — scanline to use as trigger. That’s the trigger scanline, periodt ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Deprecated alert, bestie!! 😭 This function is deprecated. Use mipi_dsi_dcs_set_tear_scanline_multi instead. No cap — the page literally says to use the _multi version instead 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success or a negative error code on failure. That’s the whole return vibe, slay 🎀
