okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for serial_txx9_register_port(9) β€” yes, the name is a mouthful, but she's iconic and she registers serial ports, so we move. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int serial_txx9_register_port (struct uart_port *port );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • port β€” the serial port template πŸ‘‘ like, this is the blueprint bestie, not the whole build.

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

So first things first: you configure the serial port specified by the request. That's the assignment, and we're doing it. πŸ’–

Then the port gets probed, and if necessary the IRQ is autodetected. If this fails, an error is returned β€” no cap, that's the vibe check failing and you get an error back. 😭

On success, the port is ready to use and the line number is returned. Slay. ✨
