✨ snd_soc_find_dai(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 — we're diving into snd_soc_find_dai(9) and honestly it's giving "where is my DAI" energy and i'm obsessed 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_soc_find_dai — find a registered DAI, literally that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct snd_soc_dai * snd_soc_find_dai (const struct
snd_soc_dai_link_component *dlc );

like yes, that's the signature, copy it exactly bestie, no cap 📋

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • dlc — the name of the DAI, or the DAI driver plus optional component info to match against. basically "who are we looking for" 🕵️‍♀️

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it do? this function goes through all the registered components and their DAIs to find the DAI with the same name. and if you specify the component's of_node and name, those gotta match too — like a vibe check where everyone has to agree 🌈✨

fr fr, the name match alone isn't enough if you also hand it of_node and name — those get checked too. no shortcuts 💅

👑 RETURN 👑

a pointer to the DAI 💖 … or NULL if it's not found 😭 (and yes, that's the whole return contract, don't come for me)

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 this was ./sound/soc from October 2026 — go find those DAIs, slay, and remember: pointer or NULL, there is no in-between 💀💜
