driver_find_...ce_by_fwnode(9)

💅 driver_find_...ce_by_fwnode(9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, listen up 🫶 this is the driver_find_...ce_by_fwnode(9) page, and honestly it's a short one but it ate. it's the device iterator you reach for when you want to find one specific device by its fwnode pointer. no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

driver_find_device_by_fwnode — device iterator for locating a particular device by fwnode pointer.

like, it's giving "search party but make it kernel" 🔍💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct device * driver_find_device_by_fwnode (struct device_driver *drv
, const struct fwnode_handle *fwnode );

periodt. that's the signature, don't touch it 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• drv — the driver we're iterating. yup, you're walking through everything this driver has got, main character energy 🌈
• fwnode — fwnode pointer to match. this is the one we're looking for, the whole reason we're here 🔥

---

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

all the siblings and cousins, iykyk:

• Kernel file ./include/linux/device/driver.h
• enum probe_type(9)
• struct device_driver(9)
• driver_find_device_by_name(9)
• driver_find_device_by_of_node(9)
• driver_find_device_by_devt(9)

ngl, that's a whole friend group and they're all iconic 👑

lowkey reminder: this page is literally just the lookup-by-fwnode one — the other finders above are separate pages, so don't come for me if you wanted one of those 💀

and that's the page, bestie! 🍓 source/version: ./include/linux/device, dated October 2026, and yes it's still filed under driver_find_...ce_by_fwnode(9) — slay, go read your kernel headers 💖✨🧚
