πŸ’… ti_sci_reset_of_xlate(9) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” section 9, the fancy kernel one πŸŽ€. today we're learning about ti_sci_reset_of_xlate, and honestly? she's a translator. a little matchmaker. an icon. let's get into it πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

ti_sci_reset_of_xlate β€” translate a set of OF arguments to a reset ID. literally her whole job. no cap πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ti_sci_reset_of_xlate (struct reset_controller_dev *rcdev , const
       struct of_phandle_args *reset_spec );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • rcdev β€” the reset controller entity. that's the main character right there πŸ‘‘
  • reset_spec β€” the OF reset argument specifier. the little details she's working with 🫢

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does she actually do? she performs the translation of the reset argument specifier values defined in a reset consumer device node. yes, that's a real sentence and yes it's a lot 😭

the way that this works is: the function allocates a reset control structure for that device reset, and that structure is gonna be used by the driver for performing any reset functions on that reset. slay.

also β€” an idr structure gets allocated and used to map to the reset control structure. and that idr? the driver uses it to do reset lookups. lowkey the idr is the real MVP here πŸ’€βœ¨


⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 for a successful request, else a corresponding error value. so if you get 0, she ate. if you get an error value, that's the kernel telling you what went wrong, bestie πŸ™ˆ
