qed_hw_init(9)

💅 qed_hw_init — init Qed hardware

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ (yes that's the manual name, we're being official today) and today's main character is qed_hw_init 🌸 — the function that literally gets your Qed hardware up and running. no cap, this is the glow-up moment for the whole device. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int qed_hw_init (struct qed_dev *cdev , struct qed_hw_init_params *p_params );

it's giving "short but mighty" 🎀 — one return value, two pointers, infinite possibilities (jk, it's just hardware init 😭).

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cdev — the Qed dev pointer 💫. like, the actual device you're working with. your main character device, if you will 👑.
• p_params — pointers to params 🫶. plural, because apparently one pointer wasn't enough drama for this function.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns Int ⭐ — an integer, bestie. the classic "did it work or nah" energy. iykyk 💅.
