📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 overlay_adjust_local_conflicting_phandle(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this whole page is about one little function, and honestly it's giving "small but mighty" 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

overlay_adjust_local_conflicting_phandle — literally just changes a phandle value, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int overlay_adjust_local_conflicting_phandle (void *fdto , int node ,
       uint32_t fdt_phandle );

like… that's the whole signature, she's neat, she's tidy, she takes three things and gives you back an int 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • fdto — the device tree overlay itself, your main character 💖
  • node — the specific node that the phandle is being set for 🌈
  • fdt_phandle — the brand new value you want that phandle to have ⭐

🎀 RETURN 🎀

  • 0 when it goes well — slay, success, we love to see it 👑
  • a negative error code when it doesn't — yeah that's a failure, and it's negative, so… 😭

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the kernel file where all this magic lives:

  • Kernel file ./scripts/dtc/libfdt/fdt_overlay.c 📁

and the whole friend group of related functions — every single one of them, because we don't gatekeep here:

like, the entire overlay cinematic universe, iykyk 🧚💜

ngl this page is short but it ate — one function, three args, done. periodt. 💀✨

okay that's the whole vibe check bestie, and for the cute sign-off: this lil page comes from ./scripts/dtc/libfdt and it's dated October 2026 🍓🦋 — and yes, the header up top says overlay_adju...ting_phandle(9) because even manpage titles get the truncated group-chat-name treatment 💅💖
