💖 wilco_ec_prepare(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's called wilco_ec_prepare and honestly? it's giving "small but crucial" 🎀 it does exactly one job and does it adorably well. no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

wilco_ec_prepare — get the request structure all prepped and cute for the EC 💅

like, it's the getting-ready montage before the actual main character moment. the EC is the embedded controller, and this function literally prepares the request structure for it. slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void wilco_ec_prepare (struct wilco_ec_message *msg , struct
wilco_ec_request *rq );

look at that signature. void return, two pointer args, zero drama. iconic 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• msg — the EC message carrying the request information 💌 this is where the intel lives, and it's your job to hand it over correctly. no pressure bestie.
• rq — the EC request structure that's about to get filled in 🌸 this is the empty vessel, the blank canvas, the "before" picture. wilco_ec_prepare is the one doing the filling.

---

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

• Kernel file ./drivers/platform/chrome/wilco_ec/mailbox.c — go read the source, iykyk 📖
• wilco_ec_response_timed_out(9) — for when the EC is being slow 😭
• wilco_ec_checksum(9) — the math girlie of the group 🧮
• wilco_ec_transfer(9) — the actual moving-things-around one 🔥
• wilco_ec_mailbox(9) — the whole mailbox vibe 👑

---

💀 and remember bestie: it's void for a reason — this one's all about the side effects (filling in rq), not about handing you a return value. literally focus on the pointers.
