rt2x00usb_r...r_multiwrite(9)
π rt2x00usb_register_multiwrite β from the Kernel API Manual, bestie π
Okay so picture this: it's giving kernel-doc energy, it's giving driver-level realness. Let me walk you through β¨ rt2x00usb_register_multiwrite β¨ β yes that's the whole name, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic, periodt.
πΈ NAME πΈ
rt2x00usb_register_multiwrite β literally just here to write 32bit register words π that's the whole job, and she does it slayfully.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void rt2x00usb_register_multiwrite (struct rt2x00_dev *rt2x00dev , const
unsigned int offset , const void *value , const u32 length );
No cap, that's the exact signature, don't @ me, I copied it character for character because that's how we do it here π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
rt2x00devβ aww look at her, the device pointer π she's astruct rt2x00_dev, go look it up, the whole struct is right there.offsetβ the register offset, aka where in the register space we're hanging out πvalueβ the actual data that should be written, like the payload, the main character of this operation πlengthβ the length of the data. how much. the size. the amount. you get it π
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
Okay so real talk: this function is a simple wrapper π like genuinely simple, don't overthink her. She exists so that 32bit register access can happen through rt2x00usb_vendor_request_buff.
That's it. That's the vibe. She's the friend who says "I know a guy" and the guy is rt2x00usb_vendor_request_buff β¨ honestly obsessed with the delegation, work smarter not harder bestie π

iykyk π that's a whole group chat right there, and every single one of them made the list π
β little heads-up bestie: this page comes from ./drivers/net/wireless/ralink/... and it's dated October 2026, so yeah, she's from the future, we love a time traveler πΈ
k bye, go write some 32bit register words, you're gonna do amazing π«Άπβ¨
