X86_MATCH_VENDOR_FAM_MODEL(9)

✨ NAME ✨

X86_MATCH_VENDOR_FAM_MODEL — bestie, this is the one that matches vendor, family and model all at once 💅 (that's the manual name btw, X86_MATCH_VENDOR_FAM_MODEL(9), from the Kernel API Manual — hi, so glad you're here 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

X86_MATCH_VENDOR_FAM_MODEL (vendor , family , model , data );

okay so that's literally the whole call, no cap ✨ four lil slots and you're matching CPUs like a main character 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vendor — the vendor name, e.g. INTEL, AMD, HYGON, ..., ANY. The way this works is iconic: the name gets expanded to X86_VENDOR_vendor 🧚 so like, spell it right or it's not gonna vibe-check correctly 💀
• family — the family number, or X86_FAMILY_ANY when you're feeling ✨unbothered✨ and want to match any family 🌈
• model — the model number, a model constant, or X86_MODEL_ANY (again, the "don't care, slay" option 💅)
• data — driver specific data or NULL. The internal storage format is unsigned long, and the supplied value, pointer, etc. is casted to unsigned long internally 🔥 so yeah, whatever you hand over gets squished into an unsigned long, just so you know 👀
