πŸ’… snd_hdac_display_power(9) β€” the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition πŸŽ€

okay so first things first, the page is literally called snd_hdac_display_power(9) and it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's about to be your new hyperfixation. grab a strawberry πŸ“ and let's go.


✨ NAME ✨

snd_hdac_display_power β€” power up / down the power refcount πŸ‘‘

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void snd_hdac_display_power (struct hdac_bus *bus , unsigned int idx ,
       bool enable );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • bus β€” the HDA core bus, your main character struct πŸ’–
  • idx β€” the HDA codec address. and listen: pass HDA_CODEC_IDX_CONTROLLER if you're doing the controller thing, not the codec thing, iykyk 🫢
  • enable β€” literally just power up or down. that's the whole vibe check ⭐

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this function is used by either the HD-audio controller or the codec driver β€” whichever one needs to interact with the graphics driver. two icons, one mission πŸ’…

and what does it actually do?? it updates the power status, and calls the get_power and put_power ops accordingly, toggling the codec wakeup too. no cap, that's the whole move ✨

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

go read those too, bestie, they're all in their iconic era.
