__adis_update_bits_base(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 __adis_update_bits_base(9) 💅

okay bestie, so this one is from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the unlocked version of the ADIS update-bits situation — the name on the page is __adis_update_bits_base and the whole thing is ADIS Update bits function - Unlocked version 🎀 (yes the double underscore is doing main character energy, we respect it).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int __adis_update_bits_base (struct adis *adis , unsigned int reg ,
       const u32 mask , const u32 val , u8 size );

that's the whole vibe check right there 🦋 it gives int, it takes five things, and it wants them in exactly that order, no cap.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adis — the adis device itself, the actual star of the show 👑
  • reg — the address of the lower of the two registers (yes, lower — that detail matters, don't come for me 🫶)
  • mask — the bitmask to change, aka which bits we're messing with 💅
  • val — the value to be written in there
  • size — size of the register to update, so like, how many bits wide the register is

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what it does is: it updates the desired bits of reg in accordance with mask and val ✨ that's it, that's the function, it ate and left no crumbs 🍓

lowkey important: this is the unlocked version, so the locking is not handled for you here — the name literally says unlocked, bestie, the regular one is the one that does the locking 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

like, go read those too, they're all in the same family and they're all iconic 💜

okay that's the whole page babes — this was the Kernel API Manual entry for __adis_update_bits_base(9), from ./drivers/iio/imu, dated October 2026 🌈 mwah, go update some bits responsibly 🧚‍♀️💖
