devm_rproc_add(9)

✨ devm_rproc_add ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the glow-up version of rproc_add 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

devm_rproc_add — the resource-managed rproc_add(), bestie. same energy, but the kernel cleans up after itself 🧹✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int devm_rproc_add (struct device *dev , struct rproc *rproc );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the underlying device, aka the main character this whole thing hangs off of 🫶
• rproc — the remote processor handle you're registering. that's your girl. go register her 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function does the exact same thing as rproc_add, no cap. but here's the slay: the registered rproc device gets automatically removed on driver detach. the kernel handles the breakup for you, so you don't have to write the messy cleanup code 😭🙈

it's giving "responsible adult who does their own dishes." iconic. periodt. 🌈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success 🎉
• negative errno on failure 💀
