component_compare_of(9)

💅 NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is component_compare_of(9) from the Kernel API Manual — literally a common component compare function for of_node. 🎀 it’s giving “matchmaker but for kernel components,” no cap. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the component device, periodt. 🫶
• data — the compare_data from component_match_add_release. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: you need a common compare function when compare_data is device of_node. e.g. 👑

component_match_add_release(masterdev, match, component_release_of,
       component_compare_of, component_dev_of_node)

that’s the whole vibe — iconic, lowkey essential, fr fr. 🌈
