tpmm_chip_alloc(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

tpmm_chip_alloc — allocate a new struct tpm_chip instance. That's the assignment, bestie. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct tpm_chip * tpmm_chip_alloc (struct device *pdev , const struct
       tpm_class_ops *ops );

no cap, that's the whole signature. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — the parent device to which the chip is associated. It's giving "who's your parent device" energy. 🫶
• ops — a struct tpm_class_ops instance. Literally the ops, handed over. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this is the same as tpm_chip_alloc — no cap — except devm is used to do the put_device. The way that devm is the one doing the put_device? iconic. That's the plot, periodt. ✨
