devm_intel_scu_ipc_dev_get(9)

okay bestie, welcome to devm_intel_scu_ipc_dev_get(9) — straight outta the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is lowkey iconic and very “managed device” of her 💅

✨ NAME ✨

devm_intel_scu_ipc_dev_get — Allocate managed SCU IPC device 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct intel_scu_ipc_dev * devm_intel_scu_ipc_dev_get (struct device
       *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the device requesting the SCU IPC device 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the recommended new API takes the SCU IPC instance as a parameter, and this function can be called by a driver to get the instance. periodt ✨

this also makes sure the driver providing the IPC functionality cannot be unloaded while the caller has the instance 🔥 like, she stays put, no cap.

and if SCU IPC is not currently available, she returns NULL — that’s the whole mood 😭
