β¨ rnpgbe_init_hw β¨
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 π
and honestly? it's giving "one job, does it well." One function, vibes immaculate, hardware initialized. π
πΈ NAME πΈ
rnpgbe_init_hw β sets up the hw info according to board_type, periodt β¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int rnpgbe_init_hw (struct mucse_hw *hw , int board_type );
like, it takes two things and returns an int. no notes. π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
hwβ your hw information structure π literally the whole point of the function, it's where all the hw data lives.board_typeβ the board type π 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.
π DESCRIPTION π
rnpgbe_init_hw initializes all hw data β 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 πβ¨
π RETURN π
0β success, we ate π₯π-EINVALβ failure π 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 π
