geni_load_se_fw(9)

✨ geni_load_se_fw(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 — today's main character is geni_load_se_fw, and honestly? she's giving "small function, big responsibility." no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

geni_load_se_fw — loads the Serial Engine specific firmware. that's it, that's the vibe 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int geni_load_se_fw (struct geni_se *se , const struct firmware *fw ,
       enum geni_se_xfer_mode mode , enum geni_se_protocol_type protocol );

she returns an int, she takes four things, she gets the job done. periodt. ⭐

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• se — a pointer to the concerned serial engine 🫶 like, the SE we're actually doing all this for.
• fw — a pointer to the firmware structure 📦 that's where the firmware lives, bestie.
• mode — the SE data transfer mode 🚚 yep, the mode. for the data transfer. in the SE.
• protocol — the protocol type to be used with the SE, e.g. UART, SPI, I2C 🌈 pick your fighter, iykyk.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Load the protocol firmware into the IRAM of the Serial Engine 💾✨

that's the whole thing, and honestly? iconic. the firmware goes into the SE's IRAM, the SE is now protocol-firmware-pilled, we move on. slay. 👑

---

🌟 RETURN 🌟

• 0 if successful 🎉
• otherwise, return an error value 😭 (yes, vague, but that's what the page says, don't come for me)
