get_chip_name(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is get_chip_name(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the “identifier to name” girlie: get_chip_name — identifier to name. Tiny page, main character energy. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

const char * get_chip_name (enum chip_type chip_id );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• chip_id — chip identifier. That's the input, bestie — it's the chip id you're handing over. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So the way this works: you give it a chip identifier, and it returns a suitable description. Slay. 🫶

The return value is a pointer to a static string, and that string is valid while the driver is loaded. No cap. ✨
