✨ cec_pin_allocate_adapter(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 this one's all about cec_pin_allocate_adapter — aka the glow-up moment where a plain old pin-based CEC adapter gets allocated and becomes a whole main character. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

cec_pin_allocate_adapter — allocate a pin-based cec adapter 🦋

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

struct cec_adapter * cec_pin_allocate_adapter (const struct cec_pin_ops
*pin_ops , void *priv , const char *name , u32 caps );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• pin_ops — the low-level pin operations, like the behind-the-scenes crew that actually makes the pins do stuff 🫶
• priv — this one gets stored in adap->priv and the adapter ops can use it. to grab the priv pointer back, hit up cec_get_drvdata(adap) ✨
• name — the name of the CEC adapter. heads up bestie: this name will be copied 👑
• caps — the capabilities of the CEC adapter. this will be ORed with CEC_CAP_MONITOR_ALL and CEC_CAP_MONITOR_PIN 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

allocate a cec adapter using the cec pin framework. that's it, that's the vibe — iconic behavior honestly 🧚

🌈 RETURN 🌈

a pointer to the cec adapter, or an error pointer 😭 (so like… check it, fr fr)
