__serdev_de...ver_register(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the __serdev_de...ver_register(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and the main character is:

__serdev_device_driver_register — register client driver with serdev core. Periodt. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int __serdev_device_driver_register (struct serdev_device_driver *sdrv , struct module *owner );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

two little besties walk into the function, no cap:

• sdrv — client driver to be associated with client-device.
• owner — client driver owner to set.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does this API do? It registers the client driver with the serdev framework, fr fr. And the vibe is usually that it gets called from the driver's module-init function — that's literally its whole thing. ✨
