devfreq_reg...opp_notifier(9)
π devfreq_register_opp_notifier(9) β from the Kernel API Manual, bestie π«Ά
okay so picture this: you're deep in drivers/devfreq land, and you need the devfreq subsystem to know the moment the OPP availability changes. that's it. that's the whole vibe of this page. this is a helper function, it's giving "little glue function with main character energy", and we're gonna walk through it together π
β¨ NAME β¨
devfreq_register_opp_notifier β the helper function that gets devfreq notified whenever there are any changes in the OPP availability changes ππ
like, it's literally the middleman that says "hey bestie, something shifted in the OPPs, u might wanna know". no cap.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int devfreq_register_opp_notifier (struct device *dev , struct devfreq
*devfreq );
she returns an int, she takes two pointers, she's booked and busy π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
devβ the devfreq user device, aka the parent of devfreq. this is the device that's out here using devfreq, the parent figure, the one holding the group chat together π«Άdevfreqβ the devfreq object itself. the actual star of the show, the main character π
both of them are required, both of them are pointers, don't come for me about it.
π SEE ALSO π
okay this is the part where the manpage flexes its entire friend group. the whole kernel file lives at ./drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c, and honestly? the roster is iconic. every single one of these is invited to the function party:

and yeah, devfreq_unregister_opp_notifier(9) is right there in the list β she's the one you call when you're done, the breakup arc, the "we need to talk" text π and the devm_ versions are the same thing but with automatic cleanup energy, iykyk π
β and that's the whole page, bestie β
no bugs, no warnings, no exit statuses, no environment variables on this one β she's a short queen and she knows it π
