💅 mipi_dsi_dc..._reset_multi(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is literally this function right here. the page header calls it mipi_dsi_dc..._reset_multi(9) (yes the name got truncated mid-word, she's mysterious like that 🎀), but the actual function is mipi_dsi_dcs_soft_reset_multi. iykyk.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so real talk: this is like mipi_dsi_dcs_soft_reset but she deals with errors in a way that makes it convenient to make several calls in a row. that's the whole vibe. no cap, that's it. main character energy: do the reset, handle the drama quietly, let you keep stacking calls 💅
