💅 omap_device_alloc(9) — like, the whole kernel API manual vibe 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of omap_device_alloc 💖 this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely so cute once you get past the scary C. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

omap_device_alloc — allocate an omap_device 🫶 (yes that's literally the whole name section, she's concise and iconic)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct omap_device * omap_device_alloc (struct platform_device *pdev ,
       struct omap_hwmod **ohs , int oh_cnt );

three args, one pointer out, main character energy 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pdev — the platform_device that's gonna be included in this omap_device. she's coming with you 💅
  • ohs — ptr to the omap_hwmod for this omap_device. like, the hwmod array, but make it a pointer 🙈
  • oh_cnt — the size of the ohs list. yes, somebody has to keep count, and that somebody is this int 🔥

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so this is a convenience function ✨ for allocating an omap_device structure and filling in hwmods, and resources. no cap, that's what she does — allocate, then fill 🧚

she returns a struct omap_device pointer, or an ERR_PTR on error 😭 (so like, check it, don't just vibe with it — but fr fr, that's just what the page says, I'm not adding lore 💀)

ngl the original literally ends that sentence with a semicolon instead of a period. we respect the semicolon here. periodt. 💅
