💖 mhi_device_get_sync (9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 — yes we're reading kernel docs together, this is our bonding era. today's main character is mhi_device_get_sync, and ngl she's a little unassuming but she does things. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mhi_device_get_sync — disable device low power mode, and synchronously take the controller out of suspended state 🫶

like, no cap, that's the whole vibe: wake it up, wait for it, no half-sends. periodt 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mhi_device_get_sync (struct mhi_device *mhi_dev );

that's it. that's the function. one argument, returns an int, lowkey iconic 👑

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• mhi_dev — the device associated with the channel 💖 yep, that's the one you're grabbing. hand her over and she gets the synchronous wake-up treatment.
