📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 it821x_passthru_dev_select (kernel API manual, section 9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the it821x_passthru_dev_select(9) page — yes that's the whole name, she's long, she's iconic, we love her 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

it821x_passthru_dev_select — picks who's driving: the master or the slave 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void it821x_passthru_dev_select (struct ata_port *ap , unsigned int
device );

like, literally that's it. void return, two args, no drama 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ap — the ATA port. your port. your home port 🫶
  • device — the device number. it's a number, ngl, not a pointer — do not come at her with a pointer, she said what she said 💀

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so this one is a device selection hook, periodt. she's the one who goes "okay bestie, you or you" and picks. and if it's necessary? she does the clock switching too ✨

no cap, that's the whole vibe: selection happens, clock switching happens if necessary, and we move on. lowkey elegant 🧚

don't be out here expecting her to do more than that — the page lists selection and the optional clock switch and nothing else, and we're not inventing lore 🙈
