mdio_module_driver(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to mdio_module_driver(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ — mdio_module_driver is literally the Helper macro for registering mdio drivers. Slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mdio_module_driver (_mdio_driver );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• _mdio_driver — driver to register. That's the driver you're handing over, bestie. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It's the helper macro for MDIO drivers which do not do anything special in module_init/module_exit. Lowkey chill driver behavior only. It's giving “registration handled, go live your life.”

⚠️ Real talk: each module may only use this macro once, and calling it replaces module_init and module_exit. No cap, that's the whole swap. 💀
