🌸 NAME 🌸

__fpga_mgr_register — create and register an FPGA Manager device 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• parent — fpga manager device from pdev 🫶
• name — fpga manager name 🎀
• mops — pointer to structure of fpga manager ops ⭐
• priv — fpga manager private data 💜
• owner — owner module containing the ops 🔥

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so the caller of this function is responsible for calling fpga_mgr_unregister 😭. Using devm_fpga_mgr_register instead is recommended — that's the vibe the kernel is pointing you toward 💅.

This simple version of the register function should be sufficient for most users 🌈. The fpga_mgr_register_full function is available for users that need to pass additional, optional parameters ✨.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

pointer to struct fpga_manager pointer or ERR_PTR 💀 — that's the return situation, periodt.
