int mips_cpc_probe (void );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments, literally none, it takes nothing and wants nothing 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Attempt to detect the presence of a Cluster Power Controller. Returns 0 if a CPC is successfully detected, else -errno.

that’s the whole vibe check: it tries to spot a CPC, and you get 0 on success or -errno when it’s not giving success 😭 no cap, -errno is right there and it matters.
