, uint64_t propname_addr , uint64_t propvalue_addr , uint32_t
*propvalue_len );

like, look at her. five args. all business. no cap. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • handle — the handle of the partition whose device tree you wanna go poke around in. iykyk 🔍
  • dtpath_addr — the physical address of the device tree path you're tryna access. yes, physical. don't @ me.
  • propname_addr — the physical address of the property's name. the glow-up label, if you will 💅
  • propvalue_addr — the physical address of the buffer for the property value. this is where the ~content~ goes 🎀
  • propvalue_len — length of the buffer on entry, and length of the property on return. she's a two-job queen, main character energy fr fr 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖
