💅 devm_stmmac_pltfr_probe

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes this is a real manual page, and yes it's about a kernel function, don't panic, we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

devm_stmmac_pltfr_probe —

so bestie. the name section is literally just vibes and a dash rn 😭 the original page gives us the function name and then... nothing. a whole dash. a mystery. an empty description doing main character energy with zero lines. so that's what we're working with 🔥 (no cap, that's genuinely all it says)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int devm_stmmac_pltfr_probe (struct platform_device *pdev , struct
       plat_stmmacenet_data *plat , struct stmmac_resources *res );

she's an int, she takes three pointers, she's living her best life 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pdev — pointer to the platform device. that's her little device bestie 👑
  • plat — driver data platform structure. this is where the platform-y driver data lives ✨
  • res — stmmac resources. the resources, iconic as always 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ this is the Devres variant of stmmac_pltfr_probe.

and what that means for you, gorgeous, is that it allows users to skip calling stmmac_pltfr_remove on driver detach 💅 that's the whole point. devres handles the cleanup, you simply do not have to think about it. slay. periodt.
