__genwqe_readl(9)

💅 __genwqe_readl (9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you're in the genwqe driver, and you just need one little 32-bit number out of a register. that's it. that's the whole function. she's short, she's sweet, she reads a register and she goes home. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

__genwqe_readl — literally just Read 32-bit register. no cap, that's the entire job description 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u32 __genwqe_readl (struct genwqe_dev *cd , u64 byte_offs );

look at her go 🦋 she takes two things and hands you back a u32.

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• cd — the genwqe device descriptor. like, which card are we talking to, bestie? this is how she knows 🫶
• byte_offs — the offset within BAR. that's where the register lives, so that's where she's looking 👀

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Value from register. that's it. that's the tea. you asked for the register's value, she gives you the register's value, no drama, no notes 🔥

ngl bestie, this one's a team player — she's one tiny read in a big genwqe family, so don't expect fireworks. she reads. she returns. she slays. 💀✨
