💅 spinand_match_and_init 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to spinand_match_and_init — it's a kernel API manual page and honestly it ate. The way this function's whole job is literally "find the match" is giving main character energy fr fr. No cap, it's from the kernel API manual and we're gonna get into it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

spinand_match_and_init — Try to find a match between a device ID and an entry in a spinand_info table 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int spinand_match_and_init (struct spinand_device *spinand , const
                            struct spinand_info *table , unsigned int table_size ,
                            enum spinand_readid_method rdid_method );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• spinand — the SPI NAND object itself, your little guy 🫶
• table — the SPI NAND device description table (this is where the matching entry lives, iykyk)
• table_size — the size of the device description table, so we know how far to look 👀
• rdid_method — the read id method to match, like the vibe check for the ID ✨

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So basically 💅 — this is all about matching a device ID that you got through the READ_ID command against an entry in the SPI NAND description table. Literally a matchmaking moment. 💘

If a match is found, the spinand object gets initialized with the info provided by the matching spinand_info entry. Obsessed. The glow-up is real. 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, and a negative error code otherwise. Periodt. 💀
