via_init_one(9)

💖 via_init_one(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a lil discovery callback from the pata_via corner of the kernel, and honestly? it's giving "first day of school energy" 🌸

---

✨ NAME ✨

via_init_one — the discovery callback 🎀 (yes that's literally all it says, she's mysterious, iykyk)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int via_init_one (struct pci_dev *pdev , const struct pci_device_id *id
);

like… she takes two args and returns an int, periodt 💅

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• pdev — the PCI device 🫶 (your main character, fr)
• id — the PCI table info ⭐ (all the deets from the match table)

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So a VIA IDE interface has been discovered 🎉. The job here is to figure out what revision it is and do the configuration work — all before handing it over to the ATA layer. Like doing your hair and makeup before you walk out the door, no cap 💁‍♀️✨
