πŸ’… __devm_fpga_mgr_register πŸ’…

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's literally the resource-managed glow-up of fpga_mgr_register(). same energy, but devres does the cleanup for you so you don't have to 😭✨


✨ NAME ✨

__devm_fpga_mgr_register β€” the resource managed variant of fpga_mgr_register(), no cap 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct fpga_manager * __devm_fpga_mgr_register (struct device *parent ,
      const char *name , const struct fpga_manager_ops *mops , void *priv ,
      struct module *owner );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • parent β€” the fpga manager device, coming at you from pdev πŸ‘‘
  • name β€” the fpga manager name, like its whole identity fr
  • mops β€” pointer to the structure of fpga manager ops, the actual brain of the operation 🧠
  • priv β€” the fpga manager private data, all the personal stuff πŸ™ˆ
  • owner β€” the owner module that contains the ops πŸ’–

⭐ RETURN ⭐

You get an fpga manager pointer on success β€” slay. otherwise it's a negative error code, and it's giving sad girl hours πŸ’€


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So this is the devres variant of fpga_mgr_register, which is lowkey the whole point: the unregister function gets called automatically when the managing device is detached. no manual teardown, no forgetting, no leaking β€” the kernel handles it for you and that's iconic behavior 🌈
