💖 module_vchiq_driver(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for module_vchiq_driver — the tiny helper macro that handles the boring module init/exit stuff for vchiq drivers. no cap, it's giving “less boilerplate, more slay” ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

module_vchiq_driver — helper macro for registering a vchiq driver 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

module_vchiq_driver (__vchiq_driver );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• __vchiq_driver — the vchiq driver struct 💅 that's the whole arg situation, bestie.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Okay so here's the tea ☕: module_vchiq_driver is a helper macro for vchiq drivers that do not do anything special in module init/exit. It literally eliminates a lot of boilerplate — the way it saves you from typing the same setup over and over is iconic 👑

A couple of rules, bestie, and they matter:

• Each module may only use this macro once 🫶. do not spam it, iykyk.
• Calling it replaces module_init and module_exit 😌 so it's not just hanging out next to them — it takes their spot.

That's the vibe: if your vchiq driver has nothing special to do at module init/exit, this macro is your main character energy 👑💖
