mipi_dbi_hw_reset(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… mipi_dbi_hw_reset β€” the Kernel API Manual tea πŸ«–

Okay bestie, so we're diving into the Linux kernel docs, specifically the mipi_dbi_hw_reset page from the Kernel API Manual. Buckle up, it's giving ✨drivers✨ energy.


🌸 NAME 🌸

mipi_dbi_hw_reset β€” Hardware reset of controller πŸ’₯

Like, literally the hardware reset of the controller. That's the whole vibe check. Iconic, honestly.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void mipi_dbi_hw_reset (struct mipi_dbi *dbi );

No cap, that's the whole signature. She's simple, she's clean, she takes one pointer and she goes. πŸ”₯


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • dbi β€” the MIPI DBI structure, bestie. This is your main character struct, the one whose reset gpio we're about to check on. πŸ’–

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

So the vibe here: it resets the controller if the mipi_dbi->reset gpio is set. That's the condition, okay? Not just any old reset β€” she only pops off when that gpio is actually set. Periodt. πŸ’…

Ngl, if the gpio isn't set, don't expect a hardware reset. That's just the rules. πŸ™ˆ
