✨ mtk_xfi_tphy_probe(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 today we're looking at mtk_xfi_tphy_probe — the little probe function that sets up your XFI T-PHY instance from Device Tree. it's giving "first day of school, gotta meet everybody" energy fr fr 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mtk_xfi_tphy_probe — probe the phy instance from Device Tree. yes that's the whole vibe. she finds out what she needs to know about the hardware and gets set up. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mtk_xfi_tphy_probe (struct platform_device *pdev );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• pdev — the matching platform device. that's her buddy, her plus-one, the device she's probing 🫶

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so like, the probe function literally goes to the Device Tree and gets all the essentials: the IO resource, the clocks, the reset controller, and whether the DA work-around for 10GBase-R is required. 🧚

then she allocates memory to hold all that info in a struct mtk_xfi_tphy. iconic. she has a whole little organizer for her data and honestly? we love to see it 💜

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 — OK, we slayed, everything's good 👑
• -ENODEV — missing associated Device Tree node. and like… that should never happen 🙈 key word should, bestie
• -ENOMEM — out of memory. 💀 tragic, but she's honest about it
• any error value which devm_platform_ioremap_resource, devm_clk_bulk_get, devm_reset_control_get_exclusive, devm_phy_create or devm_of_phy_provider_register may return. yeah any of them. they all got a say 😭
