fwnode_typec_retimer_get(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual and this is fwnode_typec_retimer_get(9) — aka Find USB Type-C retimer. no cap, that's the whole mission. ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct typec_retimer * fwnode_typec_retimer_get (struct fwnode_handle
*fwnode );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• fwnode — the caller device node. that's the one, bestie. 🫶

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the tea: this function finds a retimer linked to the caller. It is primarily meant for the Type-C drivers. 👑

Returns a reference to the retimer on success, NULL if no matching connection was found, or ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER) when a connection was found but the retimer has not been enumerated yet. 💀

lowkey important vibe check: success gives you a reference, no match gives you NULL, and “found it but it's not ready yet” gives you ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER). periodt. 💅
