✨ __mhi_driver_register ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about registering a driver with the MHI framework πŸ’… like that's the whole vibe, bestie β€” one function, two arguments, and a mountain of see-also's. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

__mhi_driver_register β€” register a driver with the MHI framework ✨

no cap, that's it. that's the function. she's an icon and she's here to sign your driver up πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

int __mhi_driver_register (struct mhi_driver *mhi_drv , struct module *owner );

it's giving "small signature, big responsibility" honestly 😭 returns an int, takes two pointers, we move πŸ’€


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • mhi_drv β€” the driver associated with the device. this is your driver, the main character, the whole point πŸŽ€
  • owner β€” the module owner. yes, that module owner. usually THIS_MODULE, iykyk 🌟
no defaults, no optional bits, no secret extra params β€” the original says exactly these two and I'm not gonna gaslight you with invented ones πŸ™ˆ

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first off, the kernel file where all this lives: ./include/linux/mhi.h 🧚 go read it, it's giving lore.

and now the full squad, in the exact order they were listed, no gatekeeping, no skipping ✨:
