πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

okay so here's the vibe: it marks the component tag CSR on each device with the enumeration complete flag. yes, every single one, no skipping, we're doing the whole roster πŸ’…

once that's done β€” when it's complete β€” it then releases the host locks on each device. locks: released. hands: washed. no cap. 🧼✨

return value check, because we always check:

  • returns 0 on success πŸŽ‰
  • returns -EINVAL on failure 😭
