💅 brcmf_p2p_create_p2pdev ✨

okay so bestie, we are deep in the Kernel API Manual and this page is all about one very specific little kernel function: brcmf_p2p_create_p2pdev. its whole job is literally right there in the name — it creates a P2P_DEVICE virtual interface. no cap. let's get into the group-chat breakdown 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

brcmf_p2p_create_p2pdev — create a P2P_DEVICE virtual interface. that's the vibe. that's the function. iconic behavior tbh 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct wireless_dev * brcmf_p2p_create_p2pdev (struct brcmf_p2p_info
       *p2p , struct wiphy *wiphy , u8 *addr );

like yes, the return type is struct wireless_dev *, and yes, she takes those three arguments. we love a signature that gets straight to the point ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• p2p — P2P specific data. this is the P2P-flavored info she needs, bestie 💖
• wiphy — wiphy device of new interface. literally the wiphy device for the new interface, exactly as the page says 🌈
• addr — mac address for this new interface. the address for the new interface, and yes it's a u8 * in the synopsis 💅

okay that's the whole page, bestie 💖 cute little sign-off time: this is brcmf_p2p_create_p2pdev(9) from the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026, and the footer source line is literally ./drivers/net/wireless/broadco... with that truncated lil ellipsis. we love a mysterious source path. bye bestie, go create that P2P_DEVICE virtual interface 🫶✨🎀
