💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the max9271_set_translation(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about programming I2C address translation 💅

max9271_set_translation — Program I2C address translation ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int max9271_set_translation (struct max9271_device *dev , u8 source , u8
       dest );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev — The max9271 device 🫶
• source — The I2C source address ✨
• dest — The I2C destination address 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, here's the tea: this function programs address translation from source to dest. It's required so you can communicate with local devices that do not support address reprogramming. no cap, some local devices just can't get a new address, so translation is the move 🧚

TODO: The device supports translation of two address, this function currently supports a single one. 😭 not me handling only one when the device can do two…

Return value vibes: it returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure. that's the whole contract, periodt 💅
