ath5k_combi...pdadc_curves(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for ath5k_combine_pwr_to_pdadc_curves — the header shortens it to ath5k_combi...pdadc_curves(9), iykyk 💅. Its whole job? Combine the various PDADC curves. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is literally giving:

void ath5k_combine_pwr_to_pdadc_curves (struct ath5k_hw *ah , s16
*pwr_min , s16 *pwr_max , u8 pdcurves );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ah — the struct ath5k_hw. bestie, that’s the hardware struct right there 🫶
• pwr_min — minimum power (x min).
• pwr_max — maximum power (x max).
• pdcurves — number of available curves.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Combine the various pd curves and create the final Power to PDADC table. We can have up to 4 pd curves — yes, 4, no cap — and we need to do a similar process as we do for RF5112. This time we don’t have an edge_flag, but we set the gain boundaries on a separate register. iconic behavior, honestly ✨.
