omap_hwmod_lookup(9)

✨ omap_hwmod_lookup ✨

okay so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel devs only, no cap) and it's genuinely one of the shorter ones — a little baby function that just goes "hey, do we have one of these registered?" 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

omap_hwmod_lookup — look up a registered omap_hwmod by name

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct omap_hwmod * omap_hwmod_lookup (const char *name );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• name — the name of the omap_hwmod you're trying to look up. like, the actual string identifier bestie, spell it right 💅

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

bestie it's so simple. you hand it a name of an omap_hwmod, and it gives you back a pointer to the registered struct omap_hwmod *. that's the whole vibe.

and if something goes sideways? you get NULL upon error. 🫶 no exception, no drama, just NULL — so like, please check it, i'm begging 😭

ngl, NULL upon error is the whole error story here — no extra errno lore, no hidden side quests. what you see is what you get, and what you get might be NULL, so vibe-check your pointer before you dereference it bestie 🙈

mwah 💋 that's the page — source dir ./arch/arm/mach-omap2, dated October 2026, and yes the header said omap_hwmod_lookup(9) and the footer said omap_hwmod_lookup(9) again because the manpage gods love a symmetry moment ✨ stay hydrated and check your pointers 🧚
