check_fw_ready(9)

check_fw_ready(9) 💅✨

okay so bestie, welcome to check_fw_ready(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual name is literally right there and we're folding it in like a cute little intro, periodt. This one is short but important, so pay attention. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

check_fw_ready — the LLDD checks if the FW is ready, and if it's not, it returns an error. This function sleeps 😴, hence it must not be used in atomic context.

🚨 real talk: "sleeps" means you cannot call it in atomic context. That's not a vibe, that's a hard no.

💻 SYNOPSIS 💻

int check_fw_ready (struct pm8001_hba_info *pm8001_ha );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pm8001_ha — our hba card information 💳✨. That's the whole argument, bestie.
