STRUCT AB8500_EXT_REGULATOR_INFO(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is the glow-up glossary for struct ab8500_ext_regulator_info — literally the ab8500 regulator information struct, bestie 💅 and yeah, we're chilling in the Kernel API Manual today, welcome 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, character for character, no cap:

struct ab8500_ext_regulator_info {
    struct device *dev;
    struct regulator_desc desc;
    struct ab8500_ext_regulator_cfg *cfg;
    u8 update_bank;
    u8 update_reg;
    u8 update_mask;
    u8 update_val;
    u8 update_val_hp;
    u8 update_val_lp;
    u8 update_val_hw;
 };

like... look at her. every single field accounted for 👑

💖 Members 💖

okay breaking down every single one because we do NOT skip fields in this house:

• dev — the device pointer, aka the lil handle back to the device this whole thing belongs to 🫶
• desc — the regulator description. yes babe, the actual description struct ✨
• cfg — the regulator configuration, which is literally an extension of the regulator FW configuration. iykyk 🌈
• update_bank — the bank to control on/off 🎀
• update_reg — the register to control on/off ⭐
• update_mask — the mask to enable/disable and set the mode of the regulator 🔥
• update_val — the bits holding the regulator's current mode 💫
• update_val_hp — the bits to set EN pin active (LPn pin deactive). normally this means high power mode ⚡
• update_val_lp — the bits to set EN pin active and LPn pin active. normally this means low power mode 🌙
• update_val_hw — the bits to set the regulator pins in HW control. the SysClkReq pins and logic will choose the mode, so it's giving hands-off main character energy 👑 (no notes, the hardware decides)

not me listing all ten fields with full respect, because every single one is iconic in her own way 💀
