ds1685_indirect_read(9)

✨ NAME ✨

ds1685_indirect_read — bestie, this is the little guy that reads a value from an rtc register 💖

Yeah so we're in the Kernel API Manual today, and this is his moment. Periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

u8 ds1685_indirect_read (struct ds1685_priv *rtc , int reg );

Like, that's the whole vibe. It takes two things and hands you back a u8. Iconic.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rtc — a pointer to the ds1685 rtc structure. Yes bestie, the structure. The one with all the lore. You gotta hand him the actual struct ds1685_priv * or he literally cannot function 😭
• reg — the register address to read. That's the spot you're snooping on. Give him the address, he goes and gets the tea 🍓

Lowkey the whole job is "tell me where, I'll tell you what's there." Fr fr. No cap. 💅
