ENUM PDS_CORE_DEV_CAPABILITY(9)

✨ enum pds_core_dev_capability(9) ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel docs, we're being fancy today 💅 — and it's all about the little enum that tells you what a device is capable of. tiny enum, big main character energy 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum pds_core_dev_capability — literally just the device capabilities, bestie. that's the whole vibe check 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum pds_core_dev_capability {
    PDS_CORE_DEV_CAP_PLDM_FW_UPDATE ,
    PDS_CORE_DEV_CAP_HOST_MEM

};

look at her. two constants. flawless. no notes 🔥

---

💜 CONSTANTS 💜

• PDS_CORE_DEV_CAP_PLDM_FW_UPDATE — this one means the device only supports firmware update via PLDM. only. exclusively. no cap, that's the whole route 🛣️
• PDS_CORE_DEV_CAP_HOST_MEM — and this one means the device supports host memory for firmware use ✨ your host, doing fw favours 🫶

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

like. that's a lot of lore. go read it. i'll wait 💀

ngl the whole page is short and sweet, so there's no scary warnings here — just two constants and a reading list longer than your tbr pile 📚

okay that's the page!! this one came from ./include/linux/pds and it's dated October 2026, so mark your calendar bestie 🗓️💖 mwah, go forth and identify those devices 🧚✨
