✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about enum ipa_firmware_loader — the enum that says How GSI firmware gets loaded 💖 (section 9, iykyk).

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

       enum ipa_firmware_loader {
           IPA_LOADER_DEFER ,
           IPA_LOADER_SELF ,
           IPA_LOADER_MODEM ,
           IPA_LOADER_SKIP ,
           IPA_LOADER_INVALID

       };

🎀 Constants 🎀

these five constants are the whole vibe check for the loader situation, no cap 💅:

• IPA_LOADER_DEFER — System not ready; try again later 🫶
• IPA_LOADER_SELF — AP loads GSI firmware ✨
• IPA_LOADER_MODEM — Modem loads GSI firmware, signals when done 📶
• IPA_LOADER_SKIP — Neither AP nor modem need to load GSI firmware 🎀
• IPA_LOADER_INVALID — GSI firmware loader specification is invalid 💀
