✨ xilinx_dma_start_transfer(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for xilinx_dma_start_transfer — it's giving very short, very specific, very "one job and she does it" energy. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

xilinx_dma_start_transfer — starts DMA transfer. that's the whole name, no cap. ✨

🌟 SYNOPSIS 🌟

void xilinx_dma_start_transfer (struct xilinx_dma_chan *chan );

like, that's the signature exactly, periodt.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• chan — Driver specific channel struct pointer. that's the one and only argument, bestie 🫶
