✨ NAME ✨

db8500_prcmu_system_reset — literally System reset 💅 that's the whole vibe, that's the whole function, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void db8500_prcmu_system_reset (u16 reset_code );

she takes one argument, she returns void, she's lowkey mysterious, she's highkey essential 💜

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea ☕ this function first saves the reset reason code, and then it sets the APE_SOFTRST register — which, and I cannot stress this enough, fires an interrupt to fw 🔥

that's it. that's the whole function. she saves the why, she pokes the register, the firmware gets a lil ping. short, sweet, main character energy 👑
