✨ exynos_usi_set_sw_conf(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie β€” it's all about exynos_usi_set_sw_conf, and no, that's not a keyboard smash, it's a real function and it's kind of iconic. πŸ’…


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

exynos_usi_set_sw_conf β€” literally just sets the configuration mode of a USI block. that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int exynos_usi_set_sw_conf (struct exynos_usi *usi , size_t mode );

like, you hand it a usi and a mode, and it returns an int. straightforward queen behavior. ✨


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • usi β€” the USI driver object πŸ’œ (yes, it's a struct exynos_usi *, she's got range)
  • mode β€” the mode index πŸŽ€ (a size_t, so pick your number wisely)

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

bestie. this is the part where it actually picks the serial protocol for the USI IP-core. we're talking UART, SPI, or I2C β€” the underlying one, the real one, the main character of the bus. not me being obsessed with protocol selection but like… it IS the whole point of the function. 🫢

so yeah: it selects the underlying serial protocol (UART/SPI/I2C) in the USI IP-core. periodt. 🌈


⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success πŸ₯³
  • a negative error code on failure 😭 (so check it, ngl)

lowkey reminder: this page lives in ./drivers/soc/samsung and it's dated October 2026, so if you're reading this in the future… hi bestie, hope the kernel's slaying πŸ’€βœ¨

anyway that's the whole manual page, mwah, go set some software config, you're doing amazing πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹πŸŒΈπŸ’…πŸ«Ά
