💅 pldm_flash_components(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's literally about getting your firmware components actually flashed onto the device. buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

pldm_flash_components — program each component to device flash 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int pldm_flash_components (struct pldmfw_priv *data );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• data — pointer to private data. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's a struct pldmfw_priv * and it's carrying all the private goods 💜

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function loops through every component that's active for the matching device record, and sends each one over to the device driver for flashing. like, one by one, no skipping, no cap. 🔥

it's giving "delivery girl but for firmware" — every active component gets handed off to the driver to get written to flash. periodt. 👑

---

💀 RETURN 💀

• zero on success 🎉
• a negative error code on failure 😭

ngl if you get a negative error code back, something went wrong and you should probably go read the error code instead of pretending you didn't see it 🙈
