π omap_hwmod_softreset β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for omap_hwmod_softreset(9) β yes that (9) is the section, we're in kernel-internals territory, come on in π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
omap_hwmod_softreset β reset a module via the SYSCONFIG.SOFTRESET bit π
π SYNOPSIS π
int omap_hwmod_softreset (struct omap_hwmod *oh );
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
ohβstruct omap_hwmod *β that's the hwmod you're about to send to the reset chair, no cap
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
okay so this one is a public function exposed to drivers, like it's literally out there for the driver girlies to call π
some drivers need to do their little settings before and after resetting the device β the whole ritual, you know how it is π so here's the tea: those drivers, after doing the necessary settings, could use this function to start a reset by setting the SYSCONFIG.SOFTRESET bit π
that's the whole vibe. you set the bit, the module resets, everyone slays π₯
π SEE ALSO π
the Kernel file ./arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap_hwmod.c and honestly a whole friend group of functions β look at this roster, it's giving main character energy π

ngl bestie, that's a lot of cross-references β but every single one ate, so we're keeping them all π
and that's the whole page, periodt π this little love letter lives in ./arch/arm/mach-omap2, dated October 2026, from the Kernel API Manual β mwah, go reset something iconic π§β¨
