✨ bfa_nw_flash_attach ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this page is all about bfa_nw_flash_attach — the Flash attach API 💅 it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "one job, done well" energy 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bfa_nw_flash_attach — the Flash attach API, literally that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

void bfa_nw_flash_attach (struct bfa_flash *flash , struct bfa_ioc *ioc
, void *dev );

no cap, returns void — it takes what it takes and gives you nothing back, iconic 👑

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

so here's the guest list for this function call, three besties walk in:

• flash — the flash structure 💫 that's your flash-side data right there
• ioc — the ioc structure ✨ yeah, the ioc one
• dev — the device structure 🔥 the actual device, showing up as a void * because of course it is 🙈

three pointers, zero drama, we love a clean signature 🫶
