🦋 NAME 🦋

mei_gsc_proxy_component_match — literally the compare function for matching mei, bestie. That's the whole vibe of this page, and yes, we're in the Kernel API Manual, page mei_gsc_pro...ponent_match(9).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mei_gsc_proxy_component_match (struct device *dev , int subcomponent
       , void *data );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the master device. Main character device energy, okay?
• subcomponent — the subcomponent to match, and the one we care about here is I915_COMPONENT_SWPROXY.
• data — the compare data, which is the mei pci parent. Slay, that's the data.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here's the tea: the function checks if the device is a pci device and an Intel VGA adapter, if the subcomponent is SW Proxy, and if the VGA is on the bus 0 reserved for built-in devices to reject discrete GFX. No cap, that's exactly the match criteria spelled out.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 1 — if components match. Periodt. 💖
• 0 — otherwise. 🙈
