xe_display_..._probe_defer(9)

💅 xe_display_..._probe_defer(9) — the probe-defer vibe check 💅

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for xe_display_driver_probe_defer, and it's basically the “do we need to wait for other drivers early on?” detector. No cap, that's the whole gig. 🕵️♀️✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_display_driver_probe_defer — detect if we need to wait for other drivers early on. That's the assignment, bestie. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool xe_display_driver_probe_defer (struct pci_dev *pdev );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• pdev — the PCI device. That's it. That's the argument. 🖥️💅

---

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

heads up, bestie: this is called before xe or display device creation. Like, before the main character even walks in. 🚪✨

---

💖 RETURN 💖

true if probe needs to be deferred, false otherwise. So it's giving “should we wait?” energy — true means deferred, false means not deferred. Periodt. ✅👑
