STRUCT ATH5K_RF_REG(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so bestie, gather round: this is the struct ath5k_rf_reg(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the RF analog register definition. tiny struct, big main-character energy ✨


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct ath5k_rf_reg {
           u8 bank;
           u8 index;
           struct ath5k_rfb_field  field;
        };

πŸŽ€ MEMBERS πŸŽ€

  • bank β€” the RF Buffer Bank number. yes, bank like a little register neighborhood 🏦
  • index β€” the register's index on ath5k_rf_regx_idx. keep this exact name, bestie, no autocorrect πŸ’…
  • field β€” the struct ath5k_rfb_field. it's giving nested-struct moment 🫢

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so we use this struct to define the set of RF registers on each chip that we want to tweak. no cap, that's the whole job πŸ’–

some RF registers are common between different chip versions, and that's iconic because it saves us space and complexity. the way that works: we can refer to an RF register by its index no matter what chip we work with, as long as that chip has that register. slay, reusable reference energy 🌈
