💅 ath5k_combine_linear_pcdac_curves — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, you found the page for ath5k_combine_linear_pcdac_curves in the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? we're about to get into some PHY table-combining lore 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

ath5k_combine_linear_pcdac_curves — combine the available PCDAC Curves, that's the whole gig 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ath5k_combine_linear_pcdac_curves (struct ath5k_hw *ah , s16*
       table_min , s16 *table_max , u8 pdcurves );

literally just four args, no cap 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ah — The struct ath5k_hw itself, the main character of this whole situation 💅
  • table_min — Minimum power (x min), the low end of the vibe check 📉
  • table_max — Maximum power (x max), the high end, she's giving range 🌈
  • pdcurves — Number of pd curves, so like, the count 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: this function combines the available XPD Curves and fills the Linear Power to PCDAC table on RF5112. And RFX112 can have up to 2 curves — one for the low txpower range and one for the higher txpower range. Two icons, one table 💖

We need to put them both on pcdac_out and place them in the correct location. Slay, positioning matters.

But wait — in case we only have one curve available, we just fit it on pcdac_out. And no, that's not a downgrade, it's supposed to cover the entire range of available pwr levels since it's always the higher power curve. She's versatile like that 😌

And if needed? We extrapolate below and above the final table. Extrapolation is giving main character energy fr fr 🔥

and that's the whole page bestie, no gatekeeping 🫶 this one lives in ./drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k — the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026, filed under ath5k_combi...pcdac_curves(9). ily, go combine some curves 💜✨
