💅 __intel_scu_ipc_register(9) — the "make it official" era

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🌸 — yes, that's the vibe, we're doing kernel plumbing today and honestly? it's giving main character energy ✨

✨ NAME ✨

__intel_scu_ipc_register — the glow-up moment where your SCU IPC device finally gets registered 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct intel_scu_ipc_dev * __intel_scu_ipc_register (struct device
*parent , const struct intel_scu_ipc_data *scu_data , struct module
*owner );

ngl that signature is a whole mouthful, but we move 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • parent — the parent device. it's like the adult supervision for your shiny new SCU IPC thing 🫶
  • scu_data — the data used to configure SCU IPC. all the setup details live here 💜
  • owner — the module that's registering the SCU IPC device. gotta claim what's yours, periodt 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so literally, you call this function to register the SCU IPC mechanism under parent 📞✨

It returns a pointer to the brand-new SCU IPC device, or an ERR_PTR if things go sideways 😭 (you know the drill, always check for the error, bestie, no cap).

and here's the cute part: the caller may totally use the returned instance if it needs to do SCU IPC calls itself 💫 like, it's your device now, go off 🫶
