💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this manual page is of_flat_dt_is_compatible — and what it does is literally return true if the given node has compat in its compatible list. that's the whole vibe check 🫶 (and yes, this is a of_flat_dt_is_compatible(9) situation, kernel API manual girlies rise)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int of_flat_dt_is_compatible (unsigned long node , const char *compat );

that's it, that's the whole signature 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• node — the node you want to test 👀 like, the one being checked
• compat — the compatible string that gets compared against the compatible list 🦋
