💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is vdo_initialize_device_registry_once from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — and its whole job is to initialize the necessary structures for the device registry. That's the assignment. No extra lore, no side quests. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vdo_initialize_device_registry_once (void );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments. Zero. None. Nada. The argument list is literally just vibing as void. 💅
