STRUCT AC97_CODEC_DRIVER(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct ac97_codec_driver — a ac97 codec driver 🎀

okay so bestie, this is literally the little struct that says "hi, I'm an AC97 codec driver" and holds all your driver's callbacks. lowkey iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct ac97_codec_driver {
    struct device_driver    driver;
    int (*probe)(struct ac97_codec_device *);
    void (*remove)(struct ac97_codec_device *dev);
    void (*shutdown)(struct ac97_codec_device *);
    const struct ac97_id    *id_table;
 };

periodt. that's the whole thing. five members, zero drama. 💅

🌸 MEMBERS 🌸

• driver — the device driver structure itself. this is the main character right here 👑
• probe — the function that gets called when a ac97_codec_device is matched. it's giving "omg you two should meet" energy 🫶
• remove — the function called when the device is unbound/removed. sad vibes but someone's gotta do it 😭
• shutdown — shutdown function (might be NULL). so like, no pressure, it can literally just not exist ngl 💀
• id_table — the ac97 vendor_id match table, { } member terminated. don't forget the terminator bestie, fr fr 🎀
