gio_match_device(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so bestie, welcome to gio_match_device(9) — that's the page name, and it's living its best life in the Kernel API Manual. The actual NAME tea is: gio_match_device — tell if an of_device structure has a matching gio_match structure. Periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

It's giving:

const struct gio_device_id * gio_match_device (const struct gio_device_id *match , const struct gio_device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• match — the manpage literally says -- undescribed --, so bestie, that is genuinely all we get 😭 no cap.
• dev — the of device structure to match against. That's the one in the hot seat 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: this is used by a driver to check whether an of_device present in the system is in its list of supported devices. That's the whole description, bestie — iconic, concise, and lowkey mysterious ✨

• gio_release_dev(9) — another one on the reading list 💜

Okay bye bestie — this lil page comes from ./arch/mips/sgi-ip22, dated October 2026, and yeah the footer says gio_match_device(9) again because consistency is iconic 💅✨🎀
