πŸ’… wlcore_probe_of(9) β€” like, the whole vibe

okay so bestie, you've wandered into the Kernel API Manual and honestly? good for you. This is wlcore_probe_of β€” the function whose whole entire job is DT node parsing. Yes, Device Tree. Yes, it's as iconic as it sounds. No, we're not skipping any of it. periodt. ✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int wlcore_probe_of (struct spi_device *spi , struct wl12xx_spi_glue
*glue , struct wlcore_platdev_data *pdev_data );

like, look at that signature. three pointers, one int return, zero chill. πŸ”₯ (and yes, we kept the line-wrapping exactly as it is β€” the manpage said so, so we listen πŸ’…)


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

okay these are the three besties this function rolls with:

  • spi β€” the SPI slave device parameters. this one's the actual device info, the main character of the probe. 🫢
  • glue β€” the wl12xx SPI bus-to-slave-device glue parameters. yes, it's literally called glue. yes, that's the real name. it's giving arts-and-crafts but make it kernel. πŸ“
  • pdev_data β€” the wlcore device parameters. the payload. the data. the whole point honestly. πŸ’–
