🌸 NAME 🌸

mei_txe_hw_config — configure hardware at the start of the devices

like, the hardware, at the start, of the devices. that's the vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mei_txe_hw_config (struct mei_device *dev );

yes the space before the ) is in the original, don't come for me, it's iconic in its own way 💅

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• dev — the device structure 🫶 that's the whole list. one (1) argument. she's low-maintenance.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this function configures the hardware at the start of the device, and the big mood here is: it should be done only once, at the device probe time. that's it. that's the whole caution. don't be out here calling it twice, bestie, it's giving "do not repeat" energy 🚫✨

---

👑 RETURN 👑

always 0. always. no cap. she does not fail, she does not return weird errors, she returns 0 and moves on with her main character life 🌈⭐

ngl that's the entire page — short, sweet, and to the point. no drama, no hidden gotchas, just "configure the hardware once at probe time and return 0". lowkey the easiest read in the whole kernel 💀💖
