okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for scsi_device_set_state(9). Manual name folded in right up top, we are not copying that duplicate header line, periodt. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

scsi_device_set_state — take the given device through the device state model. That's the whole assignment, no cap. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int scsi_device_set_state (struct scsi_device *sdev , enum
scsi_device_state state );

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• sdev — the scsi device whose state you're changing. 💫
• state — the state you want to change it to. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Returns zero if successful, or an error if the requested transition is illegal. So like: legal transition? zero, slay. Illegal transition? error, bestie, it's giving not allowed. 😭
