regmap_field_bulk_alloc(9)

💅 regmap_field_bulk_alloc — like, the Kernel API Manual page you actually wanna read 🎀

okay bestie, buckle up, because this is the regmap_field_bulk_alloc(9) glow-up and she is serving ✨. It's a kernel API manual page, it lives in ./drivers/base/regmap, and it's literally about allocating and initialising a bulk register field. Slay. Let's get into it 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int regmap_field_bulk_alloc (struct regmap *regmap , struct regmap_field
**rm_field , const struct reg_field *reg_field , int num_fields );

that's the whole vibe right there, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• regmap — the regmap bank where this register field is chilling. like, the neighborhood it lives in 💅
• rm_field — the regmap register fields within that bank. the actual field girlies 🎀
• reg_field — the register fields within the bank too — yes bestie, both of these are about fields in the bank, that's just how it is 🙈
• num_fields — how many register fields we're talking about. the headcount 🔥

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So the return value? she's giving -ENOMEM on error, or zero for success — that's it, that's the whole vibe check ⭐.

And heads up, queen: newly allocated regmap_fields should be freed by calling regmap_field_bulk_free — don't leave them orphaned, that's not main character energy, that's a leak 😭🧚

lowkey reminder bestie: -ENOMEM bad, zero good, and regmap_field_bulk_free is your cleanup bestie fr fr 🌈
