parse_suffix_prop_cells(9)

🌸 parse_suffix_prop_cells(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for parse_suffix_prop_cells — it's giving "device tree property parser with a very specific suffix situation," and honestly the vibes are immaculate. 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

parse_suffix_prop_cells — suffix property parsing function for suppliers ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct device_node * parse_suffix_prop_cells (struct device_node *np ,
const char *prop_name , int index , const char *suffix , const char
*cells_name );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• np — pointer to the device tree node containing a list. 🌈
• prop_name — name of the property to be parsed. Expected to hold phandle values. 💫
• index — for properties holding a list of phandles, this is the index into the list. 🔥
• suffix — property suffix that is known to contain list of phandle(s) to supplier(s). 🎀
• cells_name — property name that specifies phandles' arguments count. 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this is literally a helper function to parse properties that have a known fixed suffix and are a list of phandles and phandle arguments. no cap, that's the whole assignment. 🧚

👑 RETURN 👑

• phandle node pointer with refcount incremented. Caller must of_node_put on it when done. 🫶 this is the important part, bestie — don't forget of_node_put when you're done!
• NULL if no phandle found at index. 😭
