pci_ide_stream_to_regs(9)

💅 pci_ide_stream_to_regs — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Kernel API Manual (yes that's the whole manual, we're in the kernel docs era now 🌈) and you find this little icon, pci_ide_stream_to_regs. She's a function. She takes your IDE settings and turns them into association register values. That's it. That's the whole vibe. No cap. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

pci_ide_stream_to_regs — converts IDE settings into association register values 🦋

Like literally, that's her job. IDE settings in, register values out. slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pci_ide_stream_to_regs (struct pci_dev *pdev , struct pci_ide *ide
, struct pci_ide_regs *regs );

returns nothing (void), so don't go looking for a return value, she gives you nothing back and honestly? iconic 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• pdev — the PCIe device object, and it's gotta be for either a Root Port or an Endpoint Partner Port, no in-between shenanigans 🫶
• ide — the registered IDE settings descriptor, aka the settings she's working her magic on ✨
• regs — output register values 🎀 (yes bestie, this one's the output — that's where the good stuff lands)
