💖 typec_switch_register 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the typec_switch_register(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — this is the USB Type-C orientation switch registration moment, and it's lowkey iconic. 🎀

🎀 NAME 🎀

typec_switch_register — register USB Type-C orientation switch. slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature, exactly as it appears — no renaming, no improv, no cap:

struct typec_switch_dev * typec_switch_register (struct device *parent ,
       const struct typec_switch_desc *desc );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• parent — parent device. it's the parent device slot, aka the fam situation. 🫶
• desc — orientation switch description. the orientation switch description, bestie — the whole description vibe. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: this function registers a switch that can be used for routing the correct data pairs depending on the cable plug orientation from the USB Type-C connector to the USB controllers. USB Type-C plugs can be inserted right-side-up or upside-down. literally both ways — it's giving flexible-plug main character energy, and the switch is there for routing the correct data pairs depending on that cable plug orientation. 😭🔥
