sil680_selreg(9)
π NAME π
okay so bestie, this is sil680_selreg(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and its whole NAME-line flex is: return register base. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int sil680_selreg (struct ata_port *ap , int r );
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
apβ the ATA interface. That's the port bestie you're working with, periodt.rβ the config offset. It's literally the offset into config land, iykyk. π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So here's the vibe: this function turns a config register offset into the right address in PCI space, so you can access the control register in question. No cap, that's the whole glow-up. β¨
And thankfully, this is a configuration operation, so it isn't performance critical. Lowkey chill behavior only β fr fr. πΈ
