✨ octeon_i2c_xfer(9) ✨

Okay bestie, so this is a Kernel API Manual moment, and we're about to deep-dive octeon_i2c_xfer — literally the driver's xfer function itself, no cap. 🦋 It's giving "I transfer your messages and I do it flawlessly." 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int octeon_i2c_xfer (struct i2c_adapter *adap , struct i2c_msg *msgs ,
int num );

Like, that's the whole signature. Memorize it, screenshot it, put it on your lock screen. 💖

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adap — Pointer to the i2c_adapter structure. She's the adapter, she's the main character, and she is a pointer. 👑
  • msgs — Pointer to the messages to be processed. The little messages that need to be handled. 🫶
  • num — Length of the MSGS array. Yes, num is literally just how many of them there are. 🌈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

It hands back the number of messages processed, or a negative errno on failure. 😭 So like, happy path = a count, sad path = a negative errno, and either way you know what's up. 💀
