💅 cros_ec_lpc_mec_acpi_mutex — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

Ok so bestie, picture this: you're deep in the ChromeOS embedded controller mines and you need to find the ACPI mutex for the MEC and set it up. That's literally this function. It's not a big dramatic main-character function, it's more of a "get the lock, respect the lock" supporting-cast icon, but the plot does not work without it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cros_ec_lpc_mec_acpi_mutex — find and set the ACPI mutex for MEC. That's it, that's the whole job. No cap. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int cros_ec_lpc_mec_acpi_mutex (struct acpi_device *adev , const char *pathname );

Two args, both of them matter, neither of them is optional. iykyk 💜

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • adev — the parent ACPI device. It's giving "here's my family, please know who I belong to." 👑
  • pathname — the name of the AML mutex. Yes, exactly that name, don't get creative with it. 😭

⭐ RETURN ⭐

A negative error code if things go sideways, or zero for success. That's the whole vibe check: 0 = slay, negative = not slay. 💀
