axienet_probe(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this page is axienet_probe(9) straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the Axi Ethernet probe function. no cap, that's the whole main-character vibe. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the exact signature — do not freelance it, bestie:

int axienet_probe (struct platform_device *pdev );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• pdev — Pointer to platform device structure. that's it. one argument, iconic, periodt.

---

🎯 RETURN 🎯

• 0 on success — slay, it worked ✅
• Non-zero error value on failure — not slay, but that's the contract 😭

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so listen up: this is the probe routine for the Axi Ethernet driver. It is called before any other driver routines are invoked. yes, she shows up early, she's punctual, she's that girl. ⏰

here's the full glow-up checklist:

1. It allocates and sets up the Ethernet device.
2. It parses through device tree and populates fields of axienet_local.
3. It registers the Ethernet device. and that's the finale, fr fr. 👑
