💅 devm_mipi_ds...egister_full(9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and specifically to this little icon: devm_mipi_ds...egister_full (yes the page title is truncated with dots, that's just how it is, don't come for her 💀). Let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

devm_mipi_dsi_device_register_full — create a managed MIPI DSI device 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct mipi_dsi_device * devm_mipi_dsi_device_register_full (struct
device *dev , struct mipi_dsi_host *host , const struct
mipi_dsi_device_info *info );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap. 🎀

🎯 ARGUMENTS 🎯

  • dev — the device you're tying the MIPI-DSI device's lifetime to. it's giving "we're bonded for life" energy 💖
  • host — the DSI host this device is connected to. literally where it lives bestie 🔥
  • info — pointer to a template containing the DSI device information. think of it as the little info card you fill in before you make the device 🌸

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

Create a MIPI DSI device by using the device information provided by the mipi_dsi_device_info template. iconic behaviour, truly 👑

This is the managed version of mipi_dsi_device_register_full — and the way that it's managed is that it automatically calls mipi_dsi_device_unregister when dev is unbound. so you don't have to remember to clean up yourself, she handles it 💅✨

🦋 RETURN 🦋

A pointer to the newly created MIPI DSI device — or, a pointer encoded with an error 😭 (so like, vibe check the return value before you dereference it, fr fr)

bestie pls always check for errors. pointers encoded with an error are not it. 🙈
