iwl_mei_register(9)

💖 iwl_mei_register(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes this is that iwl_mei_register(9) page, the one about introducing your wifi driver to iwlmei like it's a mutual-friend handoff 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

iwl_mei_register — register the wifi driver to iwlmei 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int iwl_mei_register (void *priv , const struct iwl_mei_ops *ops );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• priv — a pointer to the wifi driver's context. Cannot be NULL. like, at all, no cap 🙈
• ops — the ops structure. that's the vibe package 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns 0 unless something went wrong 😭. And listen — it is illegal to call any other API function before this function is called and succeeds. not "frowned upon", not "lowkey rude", illegal. so do this first, periodt 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Only one wifi driver instance (wifi device instance really) can register at a time. that's it, that's the whole boundary — one main character in the registry at a time, no ensemble casts 🙅‍♀️
