✨ lbs_get_firmware_async(9) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a manual page from the Kernel API Manual for the function lbs_get_firmware_async, and it's honestly giving "load the firmware for me, but make it asynchronous" vibes 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

lbs_get_firmware_async — Retrieves firmware asynchronously. no cap, this thing can load either a helper firmware and a main firmware (that's the 2-stage situation), or just the helper. it's giving ✨versatile✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int lbs_get_firmware_async (struct lbs_private *priv , struct device
*device , u32 card_model , const struct lbs_fw_table *fw_table ,
lbs_fw_cb callback );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• priv — Pointer to lbs_private instance. literally the main character struct, iykyk.
• device — A pointer to device structure. bestie needs to know where to live.
• card_model — Bus-specific card model ID used to filter firmware table elements. it's giving "vibe check, but for hardware" 🔥
• fw_table — Table of firmware file names and device model numbers, and here's the important part: it's terminated by an entry with a NULL helper name. like, the list just knows when to stop, periodt 🛑
• callback — User callback to invoke when firmware load succeeds or fails. this is where you find out if it ate or if it flopped 😭
