🌸 NAME 🌸

sysc_parse_and_check_child_range β€” literally parses the module IO region from ranges. that's the whole job. iconic.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int sysc_parse_and_check_child_range (struct sysc *ddata );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • ddata β€” device driver data. that's it, that's the argument πŸ’–

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so picture this: in general we only need rev, syss, and sysc registers β€” not the whole entire module range. like, we're not greedy, we don't need all of it πŸ’…

but here's the thing β€” we do want the offsets for these registers, measured from the module base. why? because that lets us check them against the legacy hwmod platform data. very "keeping receipts" of it all, ngl.

and also? let's check the ranges are configured properly. vibe check on the ranges, basically. no cap. πŸ”₯
