💅 media_device_usb_init(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for media_device_usb_init — yes the title and the manual name are both right there, we're not doing the "one on the left, one on the right" thing today, we're just vibing 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

media_device_usb_init — create and initialize a struct &media_device from a PCI device.

not me clocking that it says PCI while the function is literally named usb 😭 that's what the page says though, so that's what we're reporting, no cap. iykyk.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

media_device_usb_init (mdev , udev , name );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • mdev — pointer to struct media_device. just a lil pointer, she's holding the whole media device together, main character energy fr.
  • udev — pointer to struct usb_device. your actual USB device, the icon itself.
  • name — media device name. and here's the cute part: if it's NULL, the routine will use the usb product name, if available. so like, it'll introduce itself for you 🫶 (key words: if available — no promises if your device is shy).

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This macro calls media_device_usb_init passing the media_device_usb_init driver_name parameter filled with KBUILD_MODNAME.

like, yes, that's the whole bit. it hands over the driver name already pre-filled with KBUILD_MODNAME so you don't have to think about it. slay, honestly. ⭐
