πŸ’– rockchip_pcie_parse_host_dt(9) πŸ’–

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's about one little function that reads the Device Tree for a Rockchip PCIe host controller. she's short, she's sweet, she's giving "one job and she does it" energy. let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

rockchip_pcie_parse_host_dt β€” literally just Parse Device Tree. that's the whole gig. no cap. πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int rockchip_pcie_parse_host_dt(struct rockchip_pcie *rockchip);

like… look at her. one argument. returns an int. main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘


πŸ’… ARGUMENTS πŸ’…

  • rockchip β€” the PCIe port information. that's it, that's the description the manpage gives us, and we are respecting it. it's a struct rockchip_pcie * and it's carrying all the port info this function needs to do its thing. 🫢

⭐ RETURN ⭐

bestie. the original page leaves this section completely empty. no return values listed, no description, nada. so we are not gonna sit here and invent lore 😭 β€” the only thing we know for sure is the signature says it hands back an int. that's the tea. πŸ’€


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

these are the receipts, go look at them yourself iykyk:

  • the kernel file ./drivers/pci/controller/pcie-rockchip-host.c β€” that's where all the actual code lives πŸ”₯
  • rockchip_pcie_host_init_port(9) β€” the sibling function, probably what you call after this one has done its parsing thing ✨

a gentle reminder: this page tells you literally nothing about what happens on a failure, so don't @ me, @ the source file πŸ’–

and that's the whole page!! short and iconic, just like her 🧚
