✨ component_compare_dev_name(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — like, the official one, not a vibes-based reconstruction 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

component_compare_dev_name — the common component compare function for device name, and honestly it's giving "small but essential" 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int component_compare_dev_name (struct device *dev , void *data );

bestie look at that signature. two arguments. no notes. iconic. ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• dev — the component device 🫶 like, the actual device doing the being-compared thing
• data — the compare_data that came from component_match_add_release — that's literally where it's from, no cap

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this is the go-to compare function you reach for when your compare_data is a device name string. that's the whole vibe check it's designed for 💀

for example, you'd plug it in like this:

component_match_add(masterdev, match, component_compare_dev_name,
                    "component_dev_name")

see? you hand it the name, it does the comparing. main character behavior, honestly 👑
