✨ rnpgbe_init_hw ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the rnpgbe_init_hw(9) page β€” yep, it's a section 9 kernel API manual, we're in driver dev territory now πŸ’… and honestly? it's giving "one job, does it well." One function, vibes immaculate, hardware initialized. πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

rnpgbe_init_hw β€” sets up the hw info according to board_type, periodt ✨

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int rnpgbe_init_hw (struct mucse_hw *hw , int board_type );

like, it takes two things and returns an int. no notes. 🫢

πŸ’œ ARGUMENTS πŸ’œ

  • hw β€” your hw information structure πŸ’– literally the whole point of the function, it's where all the hw data lives.
  • board_type β€” the board type 🌈 iykyk, this is the thing that tells the function which board it's dealing with, because apparently one init to rule them all wasn't the move.

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

rnpgbe_init_hw initializes all hw data ⭐ that's it, that's the description, she's concise and she's iconic for it. no cap, "all hw data" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here and we respect the confidence πŸ’€βœ¨

🌟 RETURN 🌟

  • 0 β€” success, we ate πŸ”₯πŸŽ€
  • -EINVAL β€” failure 😭 something about the args said no ma'am
like, -EINVAL is literally the "invalid argument" girlie β€” if you see her, check your inputs before you come for the function πŸ™ˆ
