max9271_clear_gpios(9)

💅 max9271_clear_gpios(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 and today's main character is max9271_clear_gpios, which is like... literally just "make these GPIO lines go physically low". That's the whole vibe. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

max9271_clear_gpios — set gpio lines to physical low value 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int max9271_clear_gpios (struct max9271_device *dev , u8 gpio_mask );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the max9271 device 💖 like, the actual chip you're talking to, she's the moment
• gpio_mask — the mask of gpio lines to set to low value ✨ this is you picking which lines get the low treatment

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so the gpio_mask parameter shall be assembled using the MAX9271_GP[IO|O]* bit values. that's not optional, that's the assignment 📝 like, that's the only way you should be building that mask, iykyk.

and then, the way this function works is: return 0 on success or a negative error code on failure. that's it. that's the tea ☕ if you get a 0, she ate. if you get a negative error code, something went sideways 😭

lowkey important: it's a physical low value on the lines, fr fr — not just "eh we set a flag somewhere". the real deal 💅
