📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 spmi_command_reset — the kernel manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to spmi_command_reset(9) from the Kernel API Manual. yes we're reading kernel docs together, this is our bonding time, don't fight it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

spmi_command_reset — sends the RESET command to the specified slave 💥

like, the whole personality of this function is right there in the name, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int spmi_command_reset (struct spmi_device *sdev );

it returns an int, it takes exactly one thing, she's lowkey minimal and I respect it.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • sdev — the SPMI device. that's it, that's the whole guest list. one (1) device, and she's the main character 🎯

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — the Reset command initializes the Slave and forces all registers to their reset values. like a full factory reset moment, everything back to how it was on day one, iconic behavior honestly 💅

and then, after receiving a Reset command, the Slave shall enter the STARTUP state. so it's not just nuking the registers and dipping, it's actually starting back up fresh afterwards. glow-up arc fr fr ✨

bestie be aware: this is a forced reset of all registers. that's the actual documented behavior, not me being dramatic. everything goes back to reset values, periodt. 😭
