✨ ep93xx_dma_advance_work(9) ✨

okay so you're reading the Kernel API Manual bestie, and this is the page for ep93xx_dma_advance_work — yes it's a whole mouthful, yes it's iconic 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ep93xx_dma_advance_work — start processing the next pending transaction

like… literally, it kicks off the next thing in the queue 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ep93xx_dma_advance_work (struct ep93xx_dma_chan *edmac );

no cap, that's the whole signature — it returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• edmac — the channel 💖 (that's it, that's the vibe — it's the struct ep93xx_dma_chan * you're working on)

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea ☕ — if we have pending transactions queued up, and we're currently idling, then this function does its little main-character moment: it takes the next queued transaction from edmac->queue and pushes it to the hardware for execution 🔥

that's the entire job. queued + idling = grab the next one and hand it off to the hardware. slay ✨
