💖 scmi_set_protocol_priv(9) 💖

okay so like, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this page is literally about scmi_set_protocol_priv, and it's one of those tiny little functions that does exactly one thing and does it cute. no drama, no cap 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

scmi_set_protocol_priv — set protocol specific data at init time 🎀

like… that's it. that's the whole job. it's giving "one job, doing it well" energy.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int scmi_set_protocol_priv (const struct scmi_protocol_handle *ph , void
*priv );

two arguments, one int coming back at you. simple. iconic. periodt 🦋

---

💫 ARGUMENTS 💫

• ph — a reference to the protocol handle 💜 like, it's the handle for the protocol you're working with, and you better have it on hand before you call this.
• priv — the private data to set 🎀 this is your stuff, your little blob of protocol-specific data, and you're handing it over.

---

🫶 RETURN 🫶

• 0 on Success ⭐ that's it — zero means we slayed, no cap.
