iwl_mvm_rat...rol_register(9)

💅 iwl_mvm_rate_control_register — NAME

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this page is all about iwl_mvm_rate_control_register, which does exactly what it says on the tin: it registers the rate control algorithm callbacks. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int iwl_mvm_rate_control_register (void );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — literally no arguments, bestie. nothing. nada. void. zero inputs, it's giving "I need nothing from you, I'm that independent" 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the vibe 😌 — the rate control algorithm is hardware specific, right? Which means there is no need and honestly no reason to place it as a stand-alone module. like, why would you, it makes no sense, it's not that girl. 🙈

Instead, the driver can call iwl_rate_control_register in order to register the rate control callbacks with the mac80211 subsystem 🫶. that's the whole move. that's the assignment.

⚠️ important timing note bestie: this should be performed prior to calling ieee80211_register_hw — do it in the wrong order and it's giving chaos, not cute. 💀

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• a negative error code if it went bad 😭, or 0 on success 🎉 (slay, we love a zero)
