🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int cdns_init (struct cdns *cdns );

that's it. that's the whole signature. she's simple, she's clean, she ate 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cdns — pointer to the cdns structure, bestie. that's the whole vibe. it's a pointer, it points, that's what it does 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she do? she probes for the cdns3/cdnsp core device, no cap 🔥

and what does she give back? returns 0 on success — slay, we love a success — otherwise a negative errno 😭 so like, if you see a negative number, that's your sign something went sideways. not me getting a negative errno 💀
