velocity_soft_reset(9)

💖 NAME 💖

velocity_soft_reset — soft reset. This is the velocity_soft_reset(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and we’re keeping every deet intact, bestie. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int velocity_soft_reset (struct velocity_info *vptr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vptr — the velocity to reset. That’s the one getting the soft-reset treatment. 🌀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this function kicks off a soft reset of the velocity adapter, then it polls until the reset sequence has completed before returning. No early exit, no half-reset chaos — it waits for the whole sequence to finish first. ✨
