💅 hw_desc_init(9) — your lil' Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to hw_desc_init(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a tiny lil' function but she's the main character of getting your HW descriptor set up, no cap 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

hw_desc_init — literally just inits a HW descriptor struct, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void hw_desc_init (struct cc_hw_desc *pdesc );

that's it. that's the whole call. she's small but she matters 💖

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pdesc — pointer to your HW descriptor struct 🎀 hand her the address of the struct you want initialized and she'll do her thing. iykyk
