πŸ’– omap_register_i2c_bus(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” this is the page for omap_register_i2c_bus, and we're gonna get you fluent in it, no cap ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

omap_register_i2c_bus β€” registers an I2C bus with device descriptors. that's the whole vibe. it sets up the bus and hands over the descriptor info that goes with it πŸ¦‹


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int omap_register_i2c_bus (int bus_id , u32 clkrate , struct
i2c_board_info const *info , unsigned len );

literally the whole signature, character for character, don't come for me πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • bus_id β€” the bus id, and heads up: it counts from number 1. not zero. one. remember that or you WILL be confused later, iykyk 😭
  • clkrate β€” the clock rate of the bus, measured in kHz. that's kilohertz, bestie, keep the units straight 🫢
  • info β€” a pointer into the I2C device descriptor table, or NULL if you've got nothing to pass. both are valid, she's flexible πŸ’œ
  • len β€” the number of descriptors in that table. count them. all of them. πŸ”₯

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

so what does it do? it returns 0 on success, or an error code if things went sideways. that's it. that's the description. short and iconic, honestly 🌟

lowkey the whole function is just "did it work or not" energy β€” always check that return value, bestie, don't just assume it slayed πŸ’€
