reset_contro...et_exclusive(9)

💅 NAME

reset_control_bulk_get_exclusive — bestie, this is the one that looks up and grabs exclusive references to multiple reset controllers in one glorious sweep ✨ (yes, multiple, we're not doing them one at a time like it's 2009)

Also hi, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the function we're obsessing over is literally reset_control_bulk_get_exclusive(9). Okurrr 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int reset_control_bulk_get_exclusive (struct device *dev , int num_rstcs
, struct reset_control_bulk_data *rstcs );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS

• dev — the device that's gonna get reset by the controller 🫶
• num_rstcs — the number of entries in the rstcs array (count them, bestie, accuracy is everything) 🔢
• rstcs — array of struct reset_control_bulk_data with the reset line names already set 🌈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

So here's the vibe: it fills the rstcs array with pointers to exclusive reset controls, and then it returns 0 — iconic, no notes 👑

And if things don't go cute? You get an IS_ERR condition containing errno instead 😭 so pls check before you go off and use those pointers, iykyk.

fr fr: success is 0, failure is an IS_ERR condition with errno inside it. That's the whole deal 💀
