💅 vmw_kms_crea...ent_property(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, we're folding it in right here at the top because we're classy like that ✨ This one's about vmw_kms_create_implicit_placement_property, and honestly? It's giving "small function, big responsibility." Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_kms_create_implicit_placement_property — literally just sets up the implicit placement property. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vmw_kms_create_implicit_placement_property (struct vmw_private
*dev_priv );

No cap, that's it. One function, one pointer, zero drama. 💜

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev_priv — a pointer to a device private struct. That's your little bag of device secrets, and this function needs it. 💅

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the tea ☕: this function sets up the implicit placement property — unless it's already set up. That's it. That's the function. If it's already done, it just... doesn't. Very "not me doing the same task twice" energy, and honestly? Respect. 👑

It's the lowkey type — returns nothing (void), causes no scenes, just quietly handles its business. Main character energy but make it humble. 🧚

Heads up bestie: "unless it's already set up" is doing real work in that sentence. The function checks first, so it won't double-set the property. Don't go assuming it re-does anything — it doesn't. 🙈
