💖 amdtp_domain_wait_ready — kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about amdtp_domain_wait_ready, which is genuinely one of those "just sit there and wait" functions and honestly? relatable. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

amdtp_domain_wait_ready — sleep till being ready to process packets or timeout 😴⏰

like, literally. it naps until the thing is ready to do packet stuff, or until the timer runs out. whichever comes first. periodt.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool amdtp_domain_wait_ready (struct amdtp_domain *d , unsigned int
timeout_ms );

bestie it returns a bool. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

• d — the AMDTP domain 👑 the main character of this whole situation
• timeout_ms — msec till timeout ⏳ like how many milliseconds you're willing to wait before you're like "okay we're done here"

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the thing — if this function returns false, the AMDTP domain should be stopped. 🛑

that's it. that's the whole deal. no cap. if it comes back falsy, shut it down, it's giving "we're so over". 💀

lowkey important: false means stop the domain. not "try again", not "maybe later". stop. 🙈
