πŸ’… struct aux_transaction_parameters(9) β€” Kernel API Manual

Hey bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct aux_transaction_parameters β€” yes that's the whole name, it's a long one, we deal. This is the glow-up of the manpage, the vibes are immaculate, and the facts are all still here, no cap. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct aux_transaction_parameters β€” DP AUX request transaction data πŸ¦‹

Like, that's the whole personality: it's the little struct that carries the data for a DP AUX request transaction. Main character energy for a struct, honestly.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the whole fit, every field exactly as it appears, don't touch a single character:

struct aux_transaction_parameters {
    uint8_t is_i2c_over_aux;
    uint8_t action;
    uint8_t length;
    uint8_t reserved;
    uint32_t address;
    uint8_t data[16];
 };

The way it's laid out? uint8_t little cuties up top, then a uint32_t address holding it down in the middle, then a uint8_t data[16] array closing the whole thing out. Obsessed with the structure. πŸ’œ


🫢 Members 🫢

Okay so real talk β€” this section is literally empty in the original page. No per-member blurbs, no little description next to each field, nada. The members are the ones you see in the synopsis above:

  • is_i2c_over_aux β€” a uint8_t, sitting right up top.
  • action β€” a uint8_t.
  • length β€” a uint8_t.
  • reserved β€” a uint8_t, reserved, living its reserved little life.
  • address β€” a uint32_t, the one wide boi of the group.
  • data[16] β€” a uint8_t array with 16 elements.
No member descriptions were given on this page, so I'm not gonna make any up β€” that's not the vibe. What you see is what's documented. πŸ™ˆ

So this struct runs with a huge friend group. Lowkey the biggest friend group in the dmub cinematic universe. All of these, exactly as named (and yes, that's the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dmub/inc/dmub_cmd.h holding it all down):
