💅 sdw_cdns_soft_reset — Cadence soft-reset ✨

okay so real quick, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has lore and yes it's iconic), and today's main character is sdw_cdns_soft_reset. it's a whole vibe: a Cadence soft-reset, right there in the name. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

sdw_cdns_soft_reset — the Cadence soft-reset, periodt. it does exactly what it says on the label, no plot twists. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int sdw_cdns_soft_reset (struct sdw_cdns *cdns );

like, that's the whole signature. it takes one pointer and hands you back an int. short king behavior fr fr. 👑

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • cdns — the Cadence instance. that's it, that's the whole arg. it's the struct (struct sdw_cdns *) you're doing the soft-reset on, so bestie better be pointing at a real one. 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file is literally right here, go read the source, iykwim:

and here's the whole friend group — the entire crew of related functions, lowkey a group chat:

not me listing every single one because we do NOT skip entries on this page 💅

no cap: this page only documents the reset and its one argument, so don't go inventing extra flags or params in your head. the source file above is the real tea. 🍓
