okay so bestie, welcome to the group chat for <pink>stm32f4_i2c_write_byte</pink> (section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, iykyk) β literally the tiniest little function with the biggest "just put the byte in the register" energy π
β¨ NAME β¨
stm32f4_i2c_write_byte β write a byte in the data register. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one byte. into the register. slay π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void stm32f4_i2c_write_byte (struct stm32f4_i2c_dev *i2c_dev , u8 byte
);
no return value, no drama, just vibes and a void β iconic honestly π
