cdns3_plat_probe(9)

💖 cdns3_plat_probe(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, you opened the cdns3_plat_probe page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a tiny one, but it's iconic. this is the function that does the probe for the cdns3 core device ✨ — think of it as the "hey girl, are you there? you up?" moment for that platform device. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

cdns3_plat_probe — probe for cdns3 core device

like, literally the probe. for the cdns3 core device. that's the whole vibe check 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int cdns3_plat_probe (struct platform_device *pdev );

it returns an int, bestie. that's the tea ☕ and it takes one (1) argument. one. that's it. she's low maintenance 💜

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — Pointer to cdns3 core platform device 👑 — yes she's a struct platform_device * pointer and yes she is the main character of this parameter list. there is exactly one parameter and she ate 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the whole entire description and I need you to stay with me because it's short but it's important:

Returns 0 on success otherwise negative errno 🫶

that's it. that's the description. 0 means slay, we're good, everything worked ✨. anything negative? that's a negative errno, meaning something went sideways — not me finding out it failed 😭. so like, check your return value, fr fr. no guessing beyond that, because that's genuinely all the page says 💀
