cvs_config_mipi(9)

💖 cvs_config_mipi(9) 💖

okay so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about sending a HOST_SET_MIPI_CONFIG command. bestie, this is the exact glow-up guide for that call. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

cvs_config_mipi — send a HOST_SET_MIPI_CONFIG command. no cap, that's the whole name-and-purpose moment. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

copy-paste energy, exactly like this:

int cvs_config_mipi (struct icvs *ctx , struct icvs_cmd *c , size_t len
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ctx — CVS device context. your main-character device vibe. 🫶
• c — command container with conf field populated. yes, the conf field has to be filled in first, bestie. 💖
• len — length of original command structure (unused except for symmetry). it's literally there for symmetry, okay? 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way that this works is: it packages c->param.conf into a cvs_mipi_data_packet including size and checksum, then writes it to the device. that's the whole flow. ✨

💀 Firmware note: the CVS firmware expects the MIPI configuration to be sent as a single transaction, including all relevant parameters and checksum. so don't try to split it up and make it a whole saga. one transaction, all relevant parameters, checksum included. periodt.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns 0 on success, NO_MIPI_CONFIG, or negative errno from I2C write. that's the full return vibe check, fr fr. 💅
