riva_load_state(9)

💅 riva_load_state(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

Okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about riva_load_state. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're learning.

---

✨ NAME ✨

riva_load_state — loads current chip state. That's it, that's the whole vibe. It loads the state. Of the chip. The current one. Slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void riva_load_state (struct riva_par *par , struct riva_regs *regs );

Two pointers, no return value, no drama. void said "I'm not giving you anything back" and honestly? Respect. 👑

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• par — pointer to a riva_par object, and this little guy is holding all the info for the current riva board. Like it literally knows which board we're on. Main character energy tbh.
• regs — pointer to a riva_regs object. Nothing deeper to say, it's just… a riva_regs pointer. 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Loads chip state from regs. That's the whole thing, no cap. It takes what's in regs and loads it into the chip state. Lowkey iconic.

CALLED FROM: riva_load_video_mode rivafb_probe rivafb_remove

So like, three places call it. That's the whole guest list. 🎀
