✨ sxgbe_drv_probe(9) — the kernel API manual glow-up ✨

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's literally the moment we all been waiting for — the main character probe function for the Samsung SXGBE ethernet driver. periodt. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sxgbe_drv_probe — no cap, the synopsis is kinda mysterious on this one, but this is the big probe energy you need to know about.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct sxgbe_priv_data * sxgbe_drv_probe (struct device *device , struct
sxgbe_plat_data *plat_dat , void __iomem *addr );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• device — bestie, this is just a pointer to the struct device. iconic. 💖
• plat_dat — another pointer, this time to the platform data. lowkey essential. 🎀
• addr — the iobase memory address. yes, the actual memory address. slay. 🔥

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen up: this is the main probe function. it's the one that calls alloc_etherdev and allocates the priv structure. that's literally it — it's giving "main character energy" for the driver's probe phase, and you cannot skip it. no cap. 💀✨
