ca8210_get_platform_data(9)

💅 ca8210_get_platform_data — kernel API, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, you opened the manual page for ca8210_get_platform_data, which lives in the Kernel API Manual section (section 9, iykyk — that's the kernel-internals girlies). She's a function. She's iconic. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ca8210_get_platform_data — literally just populates a ca8210_platform_data object. That's the whole job. That's the assignment. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ca8210_get_platform_data (struct spi_device *spi_device , struct
ca8210_platform_data *pdata );

look at her go. returns an int, takes two pointers. main character energy fr fr 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• spi_device — pointer to the ca8210 spi device object you wanna get data for. that's your source, bestie 🍓
• pdata — pointer to the ca8210_platform_data object you're populating. this is the glow-up recipient ✨

both are pointers, so like… be normal about your lifetimes, okay? no cap 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 or a linux error code. that's it. that's the vibe check — if it's 0 we're slaying, and if it's a linux error code, well… 😭 she tried, go check the error.
