STRUCT SSAM_DEVICE_DRIVER(9)

💅 struct ssam_device_driver(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — today's main character is struct ssam_device_driver, aka the SSAM client device driver. no cap, it's giving "the blueprint for making your Surface Aggregator device actually do stuff." 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

struct ssam_device_driver — SSAM client device driver. literally that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct ssam_device_driver {
    struct device_driver driver;
    const struct ssam_device_id *match_table;
    int (*probe)(struct ssam_device *sdev);
    void (*remove)(struct ssam_device *sdev);
 };

look at her. four fields. flawless. 🌸

✨ Members ✨

• driver — the base driver model structure. it's the foundation, the roots, the "everything else builds on this" energy. 👑
• match_table — the match table that says which devices this driver should bind to. it's giving matchmaker. it's giving "you, specifically, are my people." 💖
• probe — the callback that gets called when the driver is being bound to a device. iykyk, this is the "omg we're getting together" moment. 🫶
• remove — the callback that gets called when the driver is being unbound from the device. the breakup callback 😭 but make it graceful.
