wx_release_sw_sync(9)

💅 wx_release_sw_sync(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is wx_release_sw_sync(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual 🎀 and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she releases a semaphore. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

wx_release_sw_sync — Release SW semaphore 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void wx_release_sw_sync (struct wx *wx , u32 mask );

that's it. two arguments, no return value, no drama. she does her thing and leaves 👑

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• wx — pointer to hardware structure 💖 so like, the actual hardware thing you're poking at
• mask — Mask to specify which semaphore to release 🎯 this is the "which one tho" part, bestie

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — wx_release_sw_sync releases the SW semaphore for the specified function. and which functions are we talking about? so glad you asked:

• CSR
• PHY0
• PHY1
• EEPROM
• Flash

that's the whole list, and yes every single one of them gets their semaphore released. icon behavior, no cap 💅✨

like, think of it as "i'm done with this thing now, someone else can have the lock" energy. main character releasing the spotlight so the next girl can shine 🌈
