of_fpga_mgr_get(9)
π of_fpga_mgr_get(9) β like, the kernel API manual, bestie π
okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific little function that gets you a reference to an FPGA manager. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "small but mighty" energy. let's get into it β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
of_fpga_mgr_get β literally: given a device node, get a reference to an fpga mgr. that's it. that's the whole vibe. π«Ά
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
struct fpga_manager * of_fpga_mgr_get (struct device_node *node );
yes bestie, it returns a struct fpga_manager * and it takes exactly one argument. no cap, that's the entire signature π
π ARGUMENTS π
nodeβ the device node. that's it, that's the whole description. it's a device node. iconic minimalism honestly π
π₯ RETURN π₯
it hands you back an fpga manager struct, or an IS_ERR condition containing an error code. so likeβ¦ vibe check the return value before you go dereferencing it, mkay? π if it's an error pointer, it's an error pointer. do not pass go, do not collect $200.
π SEE ALSO π
bestie the cross-reference list here is long and honestly kind of slaying, so buckle up π§:

like, go read them. all of them. i'll wait π
tiny reminder that this whole page lives under./drivers/fpgaand it's dated October 2026, and the page itself isof_fpga_mgr_get(9)β and yeah, that's genuinely it, that's the whole man page. short king behavior πβ¨π
