cvs_core_probe(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so bestie, welcome to cvs_core_probe(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it's giving shared probe path for I2C & platform instantiation, and we are locked in. 💅✨

cvs_core_probe — shared probe path for I2C & platform instantiation.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int cvs_core_probe (struct device *dev , struct i2c_client *i2c );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• dev — the parent device, aka the main character here. 👑
• i2c — the I2C client, and it's NULL for platform devices. No cap. 🦋

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this function discovers IPU, parses ACPI resources, sets up GPIOs/IRQs, initializes the sub-device (CSI) and host identifier, and exposes the sysfs firmware interface. It's literally doing the whole setup vibe check in one shared probe path. 🎀

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

0 on success or a negative errno. That's it, that's the mood. 💅
