REG_FIELD_GET(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, meet REG_FIELD_GET(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it’s giving “extract a u32 bitfield value” and honestly? iconic 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

no edits, no vibes-only remix — here’s the exact line:

REG_FIELD_GET (__mask , __val );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• __mask — the shifted mask that defines the field’s length and position. it’s literally the blueprint, bestie 🦋
• __val — the value you’re extracting the bitfield value from. the main character we’re pulling from ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this is a local wrapper for FIELD_GET — it forces u32 and keeps things consistent with REG_FIELD_PREP, REG_BIT, and REG_GENMASK. no cap, that consistency is the whole point 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns the masked and shifted value of the field defined by __mask in __val. periodt 💅
