STRUCT ADXRS450_STATE(9)
β¨ struct adxrs450_state(9) β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct adxrs450_state β it's giving "device instance specific data" and honestly? iconic. this is the little struct that holds everything one specific ADXRS450 gyro instance needs to know about itself π
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct adxrs450_state β device instance specific data π
like, the per-device vibes container. no cap.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
struct adxrs450_state {
struct spi_device *us;
struct mutex buf_lock;
__be32 tx;
__be32 rx;
};
that's the whole struct, and yes the way that closing brace is indented in the original is a whole mood β we keep it exactly as it is, periodt β¨
π Members π
so here's the breakdown, member by member, no skips:
usβ the actualspi_device. your real hardware bestie π«Άbuf_lockβ amutexwhose whole job is to protecttxandrx. it's the bouncer at the door of your buffers, fr fr πtxβ the transmit buffer πrxβ the receive buffer π
ngl,buf_lockis main character energy: without it,txandrxare just two fields with zero chill. keep them locked, bestie.
