💅 st_sensors_dev_name_probe(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is st_sensors_dev_name_probe(9) and she's lowkey a little legend, so let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

st_sensors_dev_name_probe — the device probe for ST sensor name 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void st_sensors_dev_name_probe (struct device *dev , char *name , int
len );

no cap, that's the whole signature, she's not complicated 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• dev — the driver model representation of the device. yes ma'am, this is the device's whole vibe in the driver model 🌸
• name — a reference to the device name buffer. it's giving "here's where the name goes" 🦋
• len — the length of that device name buffer. gotta know how much room we're working with, periodt 💀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so in effect, this function matches an ID to an internal kernel name for a certain sensor device 🔥 and like, that's the whole point — once that match is made, the rest of the autodetection can rely on that name from this point on 👑

I2C/SPI devices will be renamed to match the internal kernel convention 🧚 — that's it, that's the tea, they get a glow-up into the internal naming scheme and honestly? iconic.

ngl bestie, this is the moment where autodetect stops guessing and starts knowing 💖

kay bye ily, this page came from ./drivers/iio/common/st_sensors, dated October 2026, and it's still out here being st_sensors_dev_name_probe(9) 💜✨ slay.
