STRUCT ATH5K_INI_RFBUFFER(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, gather round — struct ath5k_ini_rfbuffer is literally the Initial RF Buffer settings struct, and yes it's exactly as iconic as it sounds 💅

(this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, iykyk 🎀)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, verbatim, no cap:

struct ath5k_ini_rfbuffer {
    u8 rfb_bank;
    u16 rfb_ctrl_register;
    u32 rfb_mode_data[3];
 };

like… she's small but she's doing a LOT 🫶

---

🧚 Members (the whole cast) 🧚

• rfb_bank — the RF Bank number, aka which bank we're talking about 💖
• rfb_ctrl_register — the RF Buffer control register, the lil control freak of the group 😭
• rfb_mode_data — the RF Buffer data for each mode — that's the [3] bestie, three of them, one per mode, slay ✨

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what IS this struct, you ask? it's the struct that holds the default mode specific RF register values (RF Banks) for each chip. like, every chip gets its own little curated set of RF Banks and this is the container that keeps them all cozy together 💜

that's it, that's the whole job. lowkey simple, highkey essential 👑
