dw_pcie_ep_init_registers β NAME β¨
Okay so bestie, this one is dw_pcie_ep_init_registers β it initializes the DWC EP specific registers. That's it, that's the whole vibe. It's in the Kernel API Manual (dw_pcie_ep_init_registers(9), section 9, kernel-space girlies only π).
π«Ά SYNOPSIS
int dw_pcie_ep_init_registers (struct dw_pcie_ep *ep );
No cap, that's the whole signature. Returns an int, takes one pointer, moves on with its life.
π ARGUMENTS
epβ the DWC EP device. That's your endpoint babe, she's the main character here π
πΈ DESCRIPTION
So this function initializes the registers (CSRs) that are specific to DWC EP. Like, the dedicated ones, not the shared situation β DWC EP's own little register closet, all tidied up β¨
π IMPORTANT, FR FR: this API should be called only when the endpoint receives an active refclk β either from the host or generated locally. Do not come at her without a clock. She will not be slaying, she will be undefined-behaving. Respect the refclk π
