mipi_dsi_detach(9)

💅 mipi_dsi_detach — like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so quick vibe check: this is mipi_dsi_detach(9), a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one. tiny. baby. but it's important 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mipi_dsi_detach — detach a DSI device from its DSI host 🦋

like, the breakup function. not me making a whole manpage about a divorce between a peripheral and a host 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int mipi_dsi_detach (struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi );

that's it. one argument. one int coming back at you. slay ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dsi — the DSI peripheral. that's the whole argument, bestie. the one (1) thing you gotta hand over 🫶

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

so okay, this is where it gets iconic — like, this page has a whole friend group and they're ALL invited to the function. every single one. i'm not skipping a single name, periodt 💜

and yeah — the kernel file lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mipi_dsi.c if you wanna go read the source yourself. main character behavior honestly 🔥

ngl there's no OPTIONS section, no EXIT STATUS, no ENVIRONMENT, no BUGS, no warnings, no examples. this page is minimal and it knows it. don't go looking for lore that isn't there 🙈

and that's the whole page!! 💖✨🎀

cute little sign-off: this one's hanging out in ./drivers/gpu/drm, dated October 2026, and it's mipi_dsi_detach(9) forever and always 🦋💅🧚⭐🍓
