regmap_init_w1(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… regmap_init_w1(9) β€” the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition πŸŽ€

okay so like, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-dev one, iykyk) and it's all about one little function called regmap_init_w1. honestly iconic of it.


✨ NAME ✨

regmap_init_w1 β€” initialise register map. that's it, that's the whole job. she shows up, she sets up the regmap, she leaves. main character energy fr fr πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

regmap_init_w1 (w1_dev , config );

literally just two args bestie, you got this 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • w1_dev β€” the device that will be interacted with. like, this is the device you're gonna be poking at and talking to. the one in the group chat, so to speak πŸ”₯
  • config β€” the configuration for the register map. all the settings, all the vibes, all the setup info. the outfit the regmap's gonna wear πŸ’…

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

so here's the tea: the return value will be an ERR_PTR on error β€” like, if things go wrong she hands you back an error wrapped up in a pointer, no cap, that's just how it is 😭 β€” or a valid pointer to a struct regmap if everything slays.

⭐ ngl always check that return value. ERR_PTR is sneaky and she will not announce herself. vibe check your pointers, bestie, that's the whole lesson πŸ”₯

sign-off time: this lil gem lives over in ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and yes it's still called regmap_init_w1(9) β€” ate and left no crumbs πŸ‘‘βœ¨πŸ¦‹
