π vcn_v5_0_1_disable_clock_gating(9) β like, the whole glow-up
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ you're literally reading vcn_v5_0_1_...clock_gating(9) and honestly? it's giving "small function, big main character energy." sit down, grab a strawberry drink π, and let's get into it.
πΈ NAME πΈ
vcn_v5_0_1_disable_clock_gating β turn OFF clock gating for VCN. that's it. that's the whole vibe. β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
void vcn_v5_0_1_disable_clock_gating (struct amdgpu_vcn_inst *vinst );
like, it takes one arg and returns literally nothing (void β no cap, it gives you zero back, and that's on purpose π
).
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
vinstβ the VCN instance. that's your one (1) bestie being passed in here, and it's the VCN instance, periodt.
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so what does it actually DO? it disables clock gating for the VCN block. clock gating: off. that's the entire flex. no extra lore, no hidden side quests, the manpage said what it said and we respect it π
real talk though β that one sentence is the whole description in the original. highkey iconic that a function can be this chill.
ngl bestie, this page is short on purpose. don't go inventing behaviour that isn't written here β that's how you end up with bugs and we are NOT about that life π
