mei_cl_device_find(9)

💅 mei_cl_device_find — nope wait, the full title is mei_cl_device_find(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie. it's called mei_cl_device_find and it's literally about finding the matching entry in the driver id table. that's it, that's the whole vibe. short queen, iconic behavior. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mei_cl_device_find — find matching entry in the driver id table 🌸

like, you have a table of ids, you have a device, you find the one that matches. girl math but make it kernel. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

const struct mei_cl_device_id * mei_cl_device_find (const struct
       mei_cl_device *cldev , const struct mei_cl_driver *cldrv );

so it takes two things and gives you back a pointer to a const struct mei_cl_device_id. no cap. 🔥

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• cldev — the me client device 🫶 like, the device we're out here looking things up for
• cldrv — the me client driver ⭐ the driver whose id table we're snooping through

---

👑 RETURN 👑

id on success — slay, you found your match 💀

NULL if no id is matching — and honestly? sometimes nothing matches. it's giving "no thoughts, head empty" but in pointer form. 🙈
