💅 zl3073x_fw_component_load — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the whole manual, we're fancy like that) and today's main character is zl3073x_fw_component_load(9). buckle up, it's giving firmware ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

zl3073x_fw_component_load — load a component from a firmware source, literally that's the whole vibe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ssize_t zl3073x_fw_component_load (struct zl3073x_dev *zldev , struct
       zl3073x_fw_component **pcomp , const char **psrc , size_t *psize ,
       struct netlink_ext_ack *extack );

like, that's a whole lot of arguments but u got this 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • zldev — the zl3073x device structure, the main character of the whole driver ngl 👑
  • pcomp — pointer to the loaded component (this is where the shiny new thing ends up) 💖
  • psrc — data pointer, aka where you're loading the component from
  • psize — how many bytes are left in the buffer, keep an eye on it bestie 👀
  • extack — netlink extack pointer, it's the one that reports errors (snitch energy, but make it useful) 💀

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so the way this works: the function allocates a single firmware component and loads the data from the buffer that psrc and psize point at. then it stores a pointer to the allocated component in the output pcomp. after that, the source data pointer psrc and the remaining bytes psize get updated accordingly — they move along with u, no cap 🦋

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 1 — component was allocated and loaded, slay 💅
  • 0 — there's no component to load, which is fine, we respect the emptiness 🙈
  • <0 — error, and we do NOT stan 😭
