💅 reset_control_bulk_get_optional_shared — kernel API manual, bestie edition

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Linux kernel API manual (section 9, we stan) and it's all about reset_control_bulk_get_optional_shared — yes that name is a whole entire mouthful, i know, but stay with me 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

reset_control_bulk_get_optional_shared — the optional-flavoured sibling of reset_control_bulk_get_shared() 💫

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dev — the device that's gonna get reset by the controller, that's its whole moment 💅
  • num_rstcs — how many entries are chillin' in the rstcs array, like literally the count bestie
  • rstcs — the array of struct reset_control_bulk_data where the reset line names are already set, no cap

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this is the optional variant of reset_control_bulk_get_shared, iykyk. The vibe: if the resets you asked for are not specified in the device tree, this function just sets them to NULL instead of throwing an error at you 😌✨ like it's being so nice about it fr fr.

For the full tea, go read reset_control_bulk_get_shared — it's giving main character energy and has all the extra info 👑
