💖 to_ssam_device_driver(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for to_ssam_device_driver, and it's literally one of those tiny lil helper functions that does exactly one thing and does it adorably. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

to_ssam_device_driver — casts the given device driver to a SSAM client device driver. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

to_ssam_device_driver (d );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• d — the driver to cast. that's your input, bestie, hand it over. 🫶

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does it actually do? it casts the given struct device_driver to a struct ssam_device_driver. simple, clean, no notes. ✨

⚠️ but listen — the caller has to ensure that the given driver is actually enclosed in a struct ssam_device_driver. like, that's on you. no cap, this function is not gonna check for you. it's giving "trust fall" energy. 😭

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns the pointer to the struct ssam_device_driver wrapping the given device driver d. one pointer in, one pointer out, we love a low-effort legend. 💜

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is the part where the manpage goes full main-character-group-chat and name-drops everybody. 🎀
