find_spec(9)

🎀 find_spec(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the find_spec(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it is lowkey iconic. Let's get into it 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

find_spec — find HW specification info by name 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const struct uniphier_aio_spec * find_spec (struct uniphier_aio *aio ,
const char *name , int direction );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• aio — the AIO device pointer, aka the main character here 👑
• name — name of device 🏷️
• direction — the direction of substream, SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_* 🧭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function is doing a little matchmaking: it finds hardware specification information from a list, by device name 💫. This information is used for telling the difference of SoCs to the driver.

The specification list is an array of struct uniphier_aio_spec which is defined in each driver (see: aio-i2s.c) 🎀.

🌈 RETURN 🌈

The pointer of hardware specification of AIO if successful — slay ✨. Otherwise NULL on error 😭.
