💅 nand_scan_with_ids(9) — Kernel API Manual, NAND Interface edition 💅

okay so bestie, this is the page for nand_scan_with_ids(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the [NAND Interface] one. It's lowkey the main character of scanning a NAND device, and we're gonna get into every single detail. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

nand_scan_with_ids — [NAND Interface] Scan for the NAND device. That's the name, periodt. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nand_scan_with_ids (struct nand_chip *chip , unsigned int maxchips ,
       struct nand_flash_dev *ids );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• chip — the NAND chip object, aka the little guy you're scanning. 🫶
• maxchips — number of chips to scan for. Like, how many are we looking for? 🔍
• ids — optional flash IDs table. Optional, so no pressure bestie. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This fills out all the uninitialized function pointers with the defaults. ✨ iconic behavior ✨

The flash ID is read and the mtd/chip structures are filled with the appropriate values. That's literally the whole vibe: defaults get set, ID gets read, structures get filled. No cap. 💖
