β¨ spi_nor_read_cr π
okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β this one's a little function from the kernel and it is, genuinely, so much less scary than it looks π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
spi_nor_read_cr β reads the Configuration Register using the SPINOR_OP_RDCR (35h) command. that's it, that's the whole gig β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
int spi_nor_read_cr (struct spi_nor *nor , u8 *cr );
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
norβ pointer to'struct spi_nor'. you know her, you love her, she's the whole SPI NOR device πcrβ pointer to a DMA-able buffer where the value of the Configuration Register gets written. bestie pls read that again: DMA-able. not just "some memory you had lying around" π
π RETURN π
0 on success, -errno otherwise. classic. no notes π
