nx_of_init(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the nx_of_init(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — it's literally about reading openFirmware values from the device tree 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

nx_of_init — read openFirmware values from the device tree ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void nx_of_init (struct device *dev , struct nx_of *props );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — device handle 🫶
• props — pointer to struct to hold the properties values 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Called once at driver probe time — one shot, no cap — this function will read out the openFirmware properties we use at runtime. If all the OF properties are acceptable, when we exit this function props->flags will indicate that we're ready to register our crypto algorithms 👑🔥

The props->flags moment is lowkey the main character here — it's the signal that registration can happen. periodt 💀
