💅 devm_tegra_mipi_add_provider(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — today's main character is devm_tegra_mipi_add_provider, and honestly? she's giving "managed registration of a Tegra MIPI calibration function provider." no cap, that's literally the whole NAME section, and we're obsessed. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int devm_tegra_mipi_add_provider (struct device *device , struct
       device_node *np , const struct tegra_mipi_ops *ops );

like yes, that's the signature, copy it exactly pls 🙈

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• device — handle to the device that's providing the MIPI calibration function. she's the one doing the providing, periodt.
• np — the device node pointer of that same device providing the MIPI calibration function. yes, both device and np point at the provider, that's not a typo, that's just how it is 💖
• ops — the operations supported by the MIPI calibration device. the whole skill tree, basically 🔥

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what she does is: this registers a device that provides MIPI calibration functions. iconic behaviour. 👑

and like, the lore matters here — for Tegra20 and Tegra30, the thing doing the providing is the CSI block. but Tegra114 and newer SoC generations? they got a whole dedicated hardware block just for these functions. glow up fr fr 🦋

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure. that's it, that's the tea — zero means slay, negative means 😭.
