💖 snd_soc_register_dai(9) 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for snd_soc_register_dai(9), bestie. This is the one about registering a DAI dynamically and creating its widgets. slay ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_soc_register_dai — Register a DAI dynamically & create its widgets

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The signature is giving exactly this:

struct snd_soc_dai * snd_soc_register_dai (struct snd_soc_component
       *component , struct snd_soc_dai_driver *dai_drv , bool legacy_dai_naming
       );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• component — The component the DAIs are registered for
• dai_drv — DAI driver to use for the DAI
• legacy_dai_naming — if true, use legacy single-name format; if false, use multiple-name format;

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Topology can use this API to register DAIs when probing a component. These DAIs's widgets will be freed in the card cleanup and the DAIs will be freed in the component cleanup. <em>no cap</em>, that’s the whole vibe. 🫶
