💅 mipi_dsi_dcs_write_var_seq_multi(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, this is the page for mipi_dsi_dcs_write_var_seq_multi(9) and honestly? she's serving "quietly does her job and yells at you when things go wrong" 🎀 like that's the whole vibe.

🌸 NAME 🌸

mipi_dsi_dcs_write_var_seq_multi — transmit a DCS command with non-constant payload 💫

so yeah, that's the one-line summary and it's lowkey iconic — she sends a DCS command whose payload is, wait for it, not constant. no cap. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mipi_dsi_dcs_write_var_seq_multi (ctx , cmd , seq... );

like, that's literally the whole call. ctx, cmd, then your pile of seq args. periodt. 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• ctx — context for multiple DSI transactions 🌈 (yes, the whole point of this macro — she wants a running context, not a one-off)
• cmd — the command 💖 that's it, that's the command
• seq — buffer containing data to be transmitted 🍓 the actual goods, the payload, the reason we're all here

---

🌼 DESCRIPTION 🌼

okay so here's the tea 🫖 — this macro will print errors for you, like she's got your back and she's not gonna make you write all that error-handling boilerplate yourself. ngl that's a slay.

and the error handling is optimized for callers that call this multiple times in a row 🔥 so if you're the kind of code that keeps calling her in a loop, bestie, you're literally the target audience. main character energy. 👑
