🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• pf — the PF driver structure 🧚
• pending — on return, bitmap of updates pending 💫

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Check if the device has any pending updates on any flash components. Literally just a vibe check for flash components — if something's waiting, this function is the one who notices. 👑

Zero on success, or a negative error code on failure. Also, updates pending with the bitmap of pending updates. So like, success = 0, fail = negative error code, and the pending bitmap is doing its little update-notification moment. 💅
