🌸 NAME 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rkgpio* at fdt?

yes bestie, that's the entire synopsis. one line. she's low maintenance πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so the rkgpio driver is the one that provides support for the GPIO ports found on Rockchip SoCs πŸ’… no cap, that's her whole job.

here's the tea though β€” she does not provide direct device driver entry points. nope. instead she just makes her functions available to other drivers. she's the friend who doesn't want the spotlight but hands everyone else their lines. main character energy in the supporting role fr fr 🫢
