- After locating the appropriate encoders, the helper function will

- operations to adjust the requested mode, or reject it completely in
- which case an error will be returned to the application. If the new

- the adjusted mode differs from the current mode, or if the
- <methodname>mode_set_base</methodname> helper operation is not
- provided, the helper function performs a full mode set sequence by

- <para>
- The <function>drm_helper_connector_dpms</function> helper function
- is a connector <methodname>dpms</methodname> implementation that
- tracks power state of connectors. To use the function, drivers must
- provide <methodname>dpms</methodname> helper operations for CRTCs
- and encoders to apply the DPMS state to the device.
- </para>
- <para>
- The mid-layer doesn't track the power state of CRTCs and encoders.
- The <methodname>dpms</methodname> helper operations can thus be
- called with a mode identical to the currently active mode.

- The <function>drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes</function> helper
- function is a connector <methodname>fill_modes</methodname>
- implementation that updates the connection status for the connector
- and then retrieves a list of modes by calling the connector
- <methodname>get_modes</methodname> helper operation.
- </para>
- <para>
- If the helper operation returns no mode, and if the connector status
- is connector_status_connected, standard VESA DMT modes up to
- 1024x768 are automatically added to the modes list by a call to

- </para>
- <para>
- The function then filters out modes larger than
- <parameter>max_width</parameter> and <parameter>max_height</parameter>

- the probed list to check whether the mode is valid for the connector.
