ipa_power_init(9)

💜 ipa_power_init(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie

okay so this is ipa_power_init(9) from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the glow-up moment for IPA power management. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "small function, big responsibilities". let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ipa_power_init — Initialize IPA power management

like, it sets up the power management side of IPA. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ipa_power * ipa_power_init (struct device *dev , const struct
       ipa_power_data *data );

that's it. that's the whole call. you hand it two things and it hands you back a pointer. no cap. 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev — the IPA device 🧚 (yes, the device, the main character)
• data — clock configuration data ⏰ (this is where the clock setup lives, bestie)

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

A pointer to an ipa_power structure, or a pointer-coded error 💀

so like — pay attention here — it's not NULL on failure, it's a pointer-coded error. check it properly, don't just vibe-check it for NULL and move on. iykyk 🙈
