module_pnp_driver(9)

✨ module_pnp_driver(9) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a whole little macro moment, fr fr 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

module_pnp_driver — the helper macro for registering a PnP driver 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

module_pnp_driver (__pnp_driver );

like, that's it, that's the whole call 😭 so clean

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• __pnp_driver — a pnp_driver struct. that's the one thing you hand it. that's the vibe check. 👑

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this is a helper macro for PnP drivers that don't do anything special in module_init/exit. literally nothing extra, no little side quests, just vibes.

the way it eliminates a lot of boilerplate?? iconic. you don't have to hand-write all that setup scaffolding, the macro ate and left no crumbs 🔥

⚠️ important rule bestie, don't miss this one: each module may only use this macro once. one (1) time. periodt. 💀

and calling it replaces module_init and module_exit — so like, don't go calling those too, that's not the move 🙈
