rt2x00usb_r...r_write_lock(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so the manual name is rt2x00usb_r...r_write_lock(9) (yes the title is literally abbreviated with the ... in the middle, that's the whole vibe, iykyk 🫶) and it lives in the Kernel API Manual.

The function itself is rt2x00usb_register_write_lock — and what does it do? It writes a 32bit register word. That's it. That's the whole gig. slay 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void rt2x00usb_register_write_lock (struct rt2x00_dev *rt2x00dev , const
unsigned int offset , u32 value );

like, look at that signature. it's giving "simple, direct, no notes." 🌈

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rt2x00dev — the device pointer bestie 💜 — see struct rt2x00_dev.
• offset — the register offset. where we're going 🦋
• value — the data which should be written. the actual payload, the main character of this whole operation 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: this function is a simple wrapper for 32bit register access, and it does that access through rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock. That's the whole description, no cap. It's a wrapper. It wraps. It's iconic for exactly that reason ✨
