sdca_irq_populate_early(9)

✨ sdca_irq_populate_early 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for sdca_irq_populate_early(9) — yes that's a section 9 page, yes it's giving "I live in sound/soc/sdca," and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

sdca_irq_populate_early — the one that processes pre-audio card IRQ registrations ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int sdca_irq_populate_early (struct device *dev , struct regmap *regmap
, struct sdca_function_data *function , struct sdca_interrupt_info *info
);

like, four args, one int coming back at you, no cap 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — Device pointer for the SDCA Function. it's literally the device, main character energy 👑
• regmap — Regmap pointer for the SDCA Function. the regmap, right where you'd expect it 💜
• function — Pointer to the SDCA Function. yes, the Function with a capital F, we respect it 🎀
• info — Pointer to the SDCA interrupt info for this device. this is where the IRQ tea gets stored 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this one is intended to be used as part of the Function boot process. like, it's a boot-process girlie 🌈

the way that it can be called before the soundcard is registered — ie. it doesn't depend on component — and it will populate all the required IRQ data, as well as registering the FDL interrupts to start booting the device. literally doing the most, and slaying while doing it ✨

ngl the "before the soundcard is registered" part is the whole vibe here — that's the early bit in the name, bestie, iykyk 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Zero on success 🎉 and a negative error code on failure 😭 (so like, check it, fr fr)
