__fpga_region_register_full β Kernel API Manual, bestie edition π
okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about exactly one function: __fpga_region_register_full. say it with me. it's giving "lowkey the full version of the register function" and honestly? iconic.
β¨ NAME β¨
__fpga_region_register_full β create and register an FPGA Region device. that's it. that's the whole gig. it makes the thing and then puts it on the bus, fr fr. π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct fpga_region * __fpga_region_register_full (struct device *parent
, const struct fpga_region_info *info , struct module *owner );
three args. one struct pointer back. no cap. π
π«Ά ARGUMENTS π«Ά
parentβ the device parent. like, who's your mom, who do you belong to in the device tree. everybody needs a parent π₯Ίinfoβ parameters for FPGA Region. all the little details it needs to know about itself. this is the vibe check packet π¦ownerβ module containing theget_bridgesfunction. so it knows which module is responsible for that callback. gotta credit the right queen π
β RETURN β
struct fpga_region or ERR_PTR. so either you get your shiny new region pointer, or you get an error pointer and you should absolutely check for it with IS_ERR() before you do literally anything else, bestie π
ngl, always check your return values. unhandled ERR_PTR is not the main character energy you want π
