okay so bestie, gather round — snd_ac97_codec_driver_register is literally the function that registers an AC97 codec driver. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

(also hi, you're reading the Kernel API Manual — very official, very demure 🎀)

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what it does: it registers an AC97 codec driver to the ac97 bus driver, aka the AC97 digital controller. the way that it just... hands your driver over to the bus and is like "here, she's yours now" 😭💖

and what does it give you back? 0 on success, or an error code. periodt. that's the whole return contract, no cap 👑
