__mcb_register_driver(9)

💖 NAME 💖

This is __mcb_register_driver(9) from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — and it’s literally here to register a @mcb_driver at the system. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

It returns an int, and the full signature is exactly this, no cap:

int __mcb_register_driver (struct mcb_driver *drv , struct module *owner
, const char *mod_name );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• drv — the mcb_driver, the main character of this whole situation 💅
• owner — the mcb_driver’s module
• mod_name — the name of the mcb_driver’s module

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so: this registers an mcb_driver at the system. It also does a sanity check — but only if the driver provides a .probe method. That’s the whole vibe check, fr fr. 🔥
