πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– atc260x_device_probe(9) πŸ’–

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a little shortie but she's important. bestie, we're talking about atc260x_device_probe β€” the function that probes a configured ATC260x device. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int atc260x_device_probe (struct atc260x *atc260x );

like, it takes one thing and gives you back an int. no cap. πŸ’…


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • atc260x β€” the ATC260x device you want to probe. and bb, it must be configured already. this is not a "we'll figure it out later" situation, this is a "have your life together first" situation. πŸ™ˆ

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's what's tea: this function is the moment where the ATC260x core goes ahead and registers the ATC260x MFD devices and the IRQCHIP. that's literally her job. that's the whole assignment. πŸ‘‘

but β€” and this is the part where you need to pay attention β€” the ATC260x device you pass in must be fully configured. and by fully we mean:

  • it's been set up with atc260x_match_device
  • its IRQ is set
  • its regmap is created
⚠️ no skipping steps, bestie. if you roll up with a half-configured device, that's not a vibe check you're gonna pass. the description says it must be fully configured, so... it must. periodt. πŸ’€

get all three of those done first and she'll slay, registering the MFD devices and IRQCHIP exactly like she's supposed to. πŸ¦‹
