omap_rproc_enable_timers(9)
π omap_rproc_enable_timers β a Kernel API Manual moment
okay so bestie, welcome to omap_rproc_enable_timers(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual. this is the little function that gets a remoteproc's timers up and running, and honestly it's giving "small but crucial" energy. let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
omap_rproc_enable_timers β enable the timers for a remoteproc πβ¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int omap_rproc_enable_timers (struct rproc *rproc , bool configure );
like yes, that's the whole signature, no cap. two args, one int coming back at you π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
rprocβ handle of a remote processor. this is your main character pointer, the whole reason we're here πconfigureβ a boolean flag used to acquire and configure the timer handle. like, do you want the full setup or just the "go" button? that's what this decides π₯
π DESCRIPTION π
ok so this function is used primarily to enable the timers associated with a remoteproc. literally its whole job. and the configure flag is there so the driver has options, bestie: either it can acquire and start a timer (that's the device initialization moment, the whole glow-up), or it can just start a timer (that's the resume operation, no re-acquiring, we're just picking up where we left off β¨).
the way that flag just... gives you both paths? iconic. lowkey elegant. π§
β RETURN β
0 on success π β otherwise it hands you back an appropriate failure, and ngl that's your vibe check failing, go check your timers π
π SEE ALSO π

go off, enable those timers, and remember: 0 is the only acceptable mood π
