🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void acpi_lpss_restore_ctx (struct device *dev , struct

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • pdata β€” a pointer to the private data of the LPSS device πŸ’« (yes, pointer, ngl she's pointing at the private data)

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

so here's the tea: this function restores the registers that were previously stored with acpi_lpss_save_ctx. that's it. save then restore, it's giving coordinated bestie energy πŸ˜­πŸ’–

like, acpi_lpss_save_ctx tucked those register values away earlier, and acpi_lpss_restore_ctx puts them back. iconic teamwork, no cap ✨
