💜 zl3073x_read_u16(9)

Okay bestie, so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual — that's the manual name, don't forget it — and it's genuinely one of the cutest little helpers in the whole zl3073x family. It reads a value out of a 16-bit register. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

zl3073x_read_u16 — read value from 16bit register

Like, literally the name says it all and honestly? Iconic. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int zl3073x_read_u16 (struct zl3073x_dev *zldev , unsigned int reg , u16
*val );

Three args in, an int out. Simple. Clean. No cap. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • zldev — zl3073x device pointer. Your main character struct, the one holding the device you're talking to 🫶
  • reg — register to write to. Yes, it says "write to" on a read function — I'm not the one who wrote it, I'm just delivering the facts verbatim, bestie 😭 (it's the register you're pointing at, iykyk)
  • val — value to write. Same energy as above — the manpage says "value to write", and that's what I'm giving you, word for word 💀
No for real though — those two descriptions are copied exactly as the page has them. Don't come for me. 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Reads value from given 16bit register. That's the entire description and honestly she ate and left no crumbs 👑 — short, sweet, does exactly one thing. Reads. A 16-bit register. Done. 💖

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 🎉
  • <0 on error 😭 — so like, literally anything negative means something went sideways. Check it, bestie, always check it.

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

Kernel file ./drivers/dpll/zl3073x/core.c — and like, the whole friend group of sibling functions, all of them, in order, because we don't leave anyone out 💜:
