✨ pvr_load_gpu_id(9) — the kernel API glow-up 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the pvr_load_gpu_id(9) page 💅 this is a Kernel API Manual entry and honestly? it's a little one, but it's a load-bearing little one. let's get into it 🫶

---

💖 NAME 💖

pvr_load_gpu_id — literally loads a PowerVR device's GPU ID (BVNC) from control registers or from an input parameter 🔥

and listen: the input parameter is processed instead of the GPU register if provided. no cap, that's the rule 🫡

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int pvr_load_gpu_id (struct pvr_device *pvr_dev );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pvr_dev — the target PowerVR device, aka the main character of this whole operation 👑

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does it actually do? it sets the arch field of struct pvr_dev.gpu_id ✨ that's it, that's the job, and it ate 💅
