💅 it8213_init_one(9) — like, the whole glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for it8213_init_one 🎀 yes that's the manual name, it's giving "niche but iconic", and we're about to make it make sense.

---

✨ NAME ✨

it8213_init_one — register an 8213 ATA PCI device with kernel services 🦋

like… you hand the kernel a shiny new ATA PCI device and it goes "ok bestie, you're officially on the list" 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int it8213_init_one (struct pci_dev *pdev , const struct pci_device_id
*ent );

that's the whole signature, no cap — int coming back at you, two pointer args going in 🫶

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• pdev — the PCI device to register 💅 this is the main character of the operation, the thing that's actually getting signed up.
• ent — an entry in it8213_pci_tbl that matches with pdev 🔥 so like, the matching ID row that says "yep, this device belongs here".

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Called from the kernel PCI layer ✨ that's it, that's the vibe — the kernel does the calling, not you, so don't come for this function's neck about how it got invoked.

LOCKING: inherited from the PCI layer (may sleep) 😴 so like, don't be out here holding it in a spinlock-y context, it's allowed to nap, periodt.

---

💀 RETURN 💀

Zero on success 🎉 or an -ERRNO value if it didn't slay 🙈 (negative errno, iykyk — the kernel's way of saying "couldn't, sorry").
