pse_pi_is_ad...able_pending(9)

💖 NAME 💖

pse_pi_is_admin_enable_pending — bestie, this one checks whether a PI is stuck in the admin enable pending state, which basically means the power hasn't actually been delivered yet 👀

So yeah, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and we're getting into it ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool pse_pi_is_admin_enable_pending (struct pse_controller_dev *pcdev ,
int id );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pcdev — a pointer to the PSE controller device 🫶 like, the actual controller we're talking about
• id — index of the PI 🌸 that's the one we're vibe-checking

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function detects if a PI is enabled in software with a PD detected, but the hardware admin state hasn't been applied yet. Not yet. Still pending. The hardware is lowkey lagging behind the software 💀

And where does this get used? In the power delivery and retry mechanisms, obviously — it's how the kernel figures out which PIs need to have power delivery attempted again 🔥 Like a little "hey, you still need to try again" list. Iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Returns true if the PI has the admin enable flag set in software but it's not yet reflected in the hardware admin state. Returns false otherwise 💅

That's it. That's the whole answer. No cap 🧚
