💅 lwmi_cd_sub_master_bind(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and we're talking about lwmi_cd_sub_master_bind — the function that binds the sub-component of a sub-master device. Sound confusing? It's not, I promise. Let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

lwmi_cd_sub_master_bind — literally just binding the sub-component of a sub-master device. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int lwmi_cd_sub_master_bind (struct device *dev );

One function, one argument, one int coming back at you. Iconic.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — the sub-master capdata basic device. That's the one being handed over, bestie, no cap.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So here's what goes down: it calls component_bind_all to bind the sub-component device to the sub-master device. Simple as that. ✨

And if that goes well? On success, it collects the pointer to the sub-component list and tries to call the master callback. Like, it tries — that's what the manpage says, so that's what we're telling you. 👑

💖 RETURN 💖

0 on success — slay — or an error code. That's it. If you get a 0, you ate. 🍓
