scmi_revision_area_get(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

scmi_revision_area_get(9) — welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie! This page is literally about retrieving the version memory area. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct scmi_base_info * scmi_revision_area_get (const struct
scmi_protocol_handle *ph );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ph — a reference to the protocol handle. That’s the one and only argument, periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this is a helper. Its whole job is to grab the version memory area reference during SCMI Base protocol initialization. Lowkey iconic for such a tiny function, no cap. It’s the “grab that reference while the Base protocol is getting set up” bestie. ✨

👑 RETURN 👑

It returns a reference to the version memory area associated to the SCMI instance underlying this protocol handle. So like, the protocol handle has an SCMI instance behind it, and this hands you the matching version memory area reference. 💅
