STRUCT AD5686_BUS_OPS(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct ad5686_bus_ops(9) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” today's main character is struct ad5686_bus_ops, and honestly? it's giving "bussin' bus ops." no cap, this lil struct is the whole personality of how a specific bus talks to the ad5686 DAC. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct ad5686_bus_ops β€” bus specific read/write operations πŸ¦‹

like, literally the read/write hookup for whichever bus you're riding. iykyk.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ad5686_bus_ops {
    int (*read)(struct ad5686_state *st, u8 addr);
    int (*write)(struct ad5686_state *st, u8 cmd, u8 addr, u16 val);
    int (*sync)(struct ad5686_state *st);
 };

okay the way that semicolon-and-brace alignment is slightly unhinged but we respect it πŸ’€ (that stray leading space before the closing }; is canon, bestie, don't touch it πŸ™ˆ).


πŸ‘‘ Members πŸ‘‘

  • read β€” reads a register value at the given address. cute, simple, does what it says on the tin πŸ“–βœ¨
  • write β€” writes a command, address and value to the device. the full lil sandwich: cmd + addr + val πŸ₯ͺπŸ’œ
  • sync β€” ensures the completion of the write operation. and it's optional! so if you don't need it, you don't gotta bring it to the party πŸŽ‰
fr fr, sync being optional is the one detail you don't wanna fumble β€” the other two are just there being iconic, but sync can ghost you and that's fine πŸ’…

sign-off time bestie 🫢 this lil gem lives over in ./drivers/iio/dac, stamped October 2026, and yeah β€” it's still called struct ad5686_bus_ops(9), periodt. β­πŸ˜­πŸ’–
