πŸ’… devm_platfor...map_resource(9) β€” the group chat edition πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” this one lives in ./drivers/base, so you know it's platform-device territory. pull up a chair, we're talking about devm_platform_ioremap_resource and honestly? she's lowkey a lifesaver. 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

devm_platform_ioremap_resource β€” literally just calls devm_ioremap_resource() for a platform device. that's the whole vibe. no cap, that's it. πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __iomem * devm_platform_ioremap_resource (struct platform_device
*pdev , unsigned int index );

look at her. returns a void __iomem *, takes a pdev and an index. iconic signature, no notes. πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • pdev β€” the platform device, main character energy fr fr. you're handing her over to be used for both the memory resource lookup and the resource management. like, she does double duty, she's serving. πŸ’…
  • index β€” the resource index. which one?? this one. that's the one. πŸŽ€

πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

a pointer to the remapped memory πŸ’– β€” OR an ERR_PTR encoded error code if it fails 😭. so yeah, check your IS_ERR() bestie, don't just rawdog the dereference. πŸ’€

ngl, an ERR_PTR-encoded error means the "pointer" might not be a pointer at all. treat it accordingly, okurrr? πŸ™ˆ
