okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ β this is the page for convert_hw_matrix, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big job" and I'm obsessed π
πΈ NAME πΈ
convert_hw_matrix β converts HW values into a fixed31_32 matrix π
like, that's literally her whole personality. hardware numbers in, fancy fixed-point matrix out. slay.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void convert_hw_matrix (struct fixed31_32 *matrix , uint16_t *reg , enum
cm_gamut_coef_format format , uint32_t buffer_size );
no cap, that's the whole signature π«Ά

π DESCRIPTION π
Okay so picture this: the hardware has its own little register spec format called S2D13, right? and convert_hw_matrix takes that HW register spec defined format S2D13 and converts it into a fixed-point 31.32 matrix β¨ literally translating hardware-speak into fixed-point matrix-speak. main character energy fr fr π
