✨ adis_read_reg_16(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's a lil function called adis_read_reg_16 — and yes, the name is literally what it does: it reads 2 bytes from a 16-bit register. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

adis_read_reg_16 — read 2 bytes from a 16-bit register 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int adis_read_reg_16 (struct adis *adis , unsigned int reg , u16 *val );

like, that's the whole signature, and yes you're gonna need all three of those args 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adis — the adis device, aka the main character here 👑 this is the struct you're working with.
  • reg — the address of the lower of the two registers. yes, the lower one — it's doing a two-register situation, iykyk. 📍
  • val — where the value read back from the device lands. it gets written into your u16 * pointer, so it's giving output parameter energy ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success 🎉 — and if it's not feeling it, a negative error code instead 😭 that's it, that's the deal.
