✨ img_ir_symbol_timing(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for img_ir_symbol_timing — the little function that turns your symbol timing struct into an actual register value. it's giving "translator era" and honestly? iconic. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

img_ir_symbol_timing — Convert symbol timing struct to register value.

like, that's literally the whole job. struct in, register value out. slay. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

u32 img_ir_symbol_timing (const struct img_ir_symbol_timing *timing ,
unsigned int tolerance , unsigned long clock_hz , unsigned int pd_shift
, unsigned int w_shift );

no cap, five args, one u32 coming back at you. 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • timing — Symbol timing data. this is the main character right here, it's a const struct img_ir_symbol_timing * and it's carrying all the timing info. 👑
  • tolerance — Timing tolerance where 0-128 represents 0-100%. yes bestie, that's the scale, don't come for me — 0 is zero percent, 128 is a hundred percent, that's just how it is. 🙈
  • clock_hz — Frequency of source clock in Hz. an unsigned long, so bring a big number. 🌈
  • pd_shift — Shift to apply to symbol period. that's the period shift, keep it separate from the next one!! 💀
  • w_shift — Shift to apply to symbol width. and this one's the width shift. two different shifts, two different jobs, don't mix them up. ✨

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Symbol timing register value based on arguments. that's a u32, bestie — computed from everything you just passed in. delicious. 🍓
