max9271_set_address(9)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so bestie, this is max9271_set_address(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and it’s literally the page for max9271_set_address: Program a new I2C address. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int max9271_set_address (struct max9271_device *dev , u8 addr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — The max9271 device. It’s the main character here. 👑
• addr — The new I2C address in 7-bit format. Slay that address. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This function only takes care of programming the new I2C address addr to in the MAX9271 chip registers. That’s its whole job, no cap. ✨

It is the responsibility of the caller to set the i2c address client to the addr value so you can communicate with the MAX9271 chip using the I2C framework APIs after this function returns. Like, the function handles the register side, and you handle the client side — teamwork, bestie. 🫶

Return: 0 on success or a negative error code on failure. Fingers crossed for that 0. 😭
