STRUCT DRM_BRIDGE_CONNECTOR(9)

okay bestie, welcome to struct drm_bridge_connector(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the little struct that’s literally a connector backed by a chain of bridges 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

struct drm_bridge_connector — a connector backed by a chain of bridges. no cap, that’s the whole vibe: one connector, a whole chain of bridges doing their thing behind the scenes 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

       struct drm_bridge_connector {
           struct drm_connector base;
           struct drm_encoder *encoder;
           struct drm_bridge *bridge_edid;
           struct drm_bridge *bridge_hpd;
           struct drm_bridge *bridge_detect;
           struct drm_bridge *bridge_modes;
           struct drm_bridge *bridge_hdmi;
           struct drm_bridge *bridge_hdmi_audio;
           struct drm_bridge *bridge_dp_audio;
           struct drm_bridge *bridge_hdmi_cec;
           struct drm_connector_hdmi_funcs hdmi_funcs;
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

• base — the base DRM connector. the main-character connector underneath it all 👑
• encoder — the encoder at the start of the bridges chain. it’s giving “first in line” energy 🚦
• bridge_edid — the last bridge in the chain (closest to the connector) that provides EDID read support, if any (see DRM_BRIDGE_OP_EDID). the EDID bestie at the end of the line 💖
• bridge_hpd — the last bridge in the chain (closest to the connector) that provides hot-plug detection notification, if any (see DRM_BRIDGE_OP_HPD). hot-plug gossip girl 📣
• bridge_detect — the last bridge in the chain (closest to the connector) that provides connector detection, if any (see DRM_BRIDGE_OP_DETECT). the “is anything there?” detective 🔍
• bridge_modes — the last bridge in the chain (closest to the connector) that provides connector modes detection, if any (see DRM_BRIDGE_OP_MODES). modes? detected. slay ✨
• bridge_hdmi — the bridge in the chain that implements necessary support for the HDMI connector infrastructure, if any (see DRM_BRIDGE_OP_HDMI). HDMI infrastructure icon behavior 🔥
• bridge_hdmi_audio — the bridge in the chain that implements necessary support for the HDMI Audio infrastructure, if any (see DRM_BRIDGE_OP_HDMI_AUDIO). HDMI Audio support, but make it bridge 🎧
• bridge_dp_audio — the bridge in the chain that implements necessary support for the DisplayPort Audio infrastructure, if any (see DRM_BRIDGE_OP_DP_AUDIO). DisplayPort Audio support, periodt 🎶
• bridge_hdmi_cec — the bridge in the chain that implements CEC support, if any (see DRM_BRIDGE_OP_HDMI_CEC_NOTIFIER). CEC support with notifier realness 📺
• hdmi_funcs — the particular drm_connector_hdmi_funcs implementation for this bridge connector. the specific HDMI function implementation for this connector, iykyk 🫶

mwah 💋 that’s the page, bestie. cute little footer tea: source/version is ./drivers/gpu/drm/display, dated October 2026, and the page title is struct drm_bridge_connector(9) — bye 🫶🌈
