💅 driver_register(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the driver_register(9) page — yes, that's the manual name up there, we're in Kernel API Manual territory 💖

🌟 NAME 🌟

driver_register — register driver with bus

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int driver_register (struct device_driver *drv );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• drv — driver to register. that's the whole vibe, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: we pass off most of the work to the bus_add_driver call, because most of the things we have to do deal with the bus structures. lowkey handing it over to the bus side and letting it cook ✨
