wl12xx_spi_set_power(9)

💅 wl12xx_spi_set_power(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is wl12xx_spi_set_power, straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, the wl12xx_spi_set_power(9) manual, she's famous). sit down, hydrate, and let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

wl12xx_spi_set_power — literally just power on/off the wl12xx unit. that's the whole gig. iconic honestly 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int wl12xx_spi_set_power (struct device *child , bool enable );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• child — the wl12xx device handle. your main character struct, the one you're doing all this for 💖
• enable — true/false, and it's giving very binary: flip it on to power the unit on, flip it off to power the unit off. no in-between, no "kinda on", periodt ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the way this works is, it uses the WiFi enable regulator to enable/disable the WiFi unit. that's it, that's the vibe — regulator in, WiFi unit on; regulator out, WiFi unit off 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• the kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/spi.c — go read her, she has lore 📖
• wlcore_probe_of(9) — the sibling function, ykyk 💜

---

ngl there's nothing dangerous in here, she's a very chill little function — just don't expect her to do anything besides flip that regulator, bestie, that's not her job 🙈

and that's the page!! 💖 sourced from ./drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore, dated October 2026, and yes the manual title was wl12xx_spi_set_power(9) the whole time — slay, go power-cycle something responsibly 🧚✨
