💖 cs_dsp_chunk_read(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a little legend named cs_dsp_chunk_read, and it lives in ./drivers/firmware/cirrus. let me tell you everything, no cap ✨

✨ NAME ✨

cs_dsp_chunk_read — parse data from a DSP memory chunk 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int cs_dsp_chunk_read (struct cs_dsp_chunk *ch , int nbits );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • ch — pointer to the chunk structure, she's the main character here 👑
  • nbits — how many bits you wanna read, literally that many 🔢

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this function sequentially reads values out of a DSP memory formatted buffer. and yes, she does the unglamorous work too — she handles both the removing of the padding bytes and the converting from big endian. the way that she multitasks?? iconic. 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

if it goes wrong you get a negative number back 😭. otherwise, it's the read value — slay 🎉
