devres_find(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to devres_find(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it’s literally the Find device resource girlie and she is serving 💅✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void * devres_find (struct device *dev , dr_release_t release ,
       dr_match_t match , void *match_data );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the Device to lookup resource from 🫶
• release — Look for resources associated with this release function 💜
• match — Match function (optional) ✨
• match_data — Data for the match function 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the tea is: this finds the latest devres of dev which is associated with release and for which match returns 1 🔥. If match is NULL, it’s considered to match all — no cap, she’s inclusive like that 💅.

Pointer to found devres, and NULL if not found. That’s the whole return vibe, bestie 😭✨
