STRUCT BCM_VOTER(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is struct bcm_voter from the Kernel API Manual — aka the Bus Clock Manager voter. it's giving kernel plumbing with main character energy, and honestly? iconic. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

       struct bcm_voter {
           struct device *dev;
           struct device_node *np;
           struct mutex lock;
           struct list_head commit_list;
           struct list_head ws_list;
           struct list_head voter_node;
           u32 tcs_wait;
        };

💅 Members 💅

• dev — a reference to the device that communicates with the BCM. that's the device bestie right there. 🫶
• np — a reference to the device_node to match bcm voters. yes, matching vibes only. 🌸
• lock — a mutex to protect the commit and wake/sleep lists in the voter. gotta keep those lists safe, no cap. 🔒
• commit_list — a list containing bcms to be committed to hardware. these bcms are ready for their hardware debut. ✨
• ws_list — a list containing bcms that have different wake/sleep votes. wake/sleep discourse, but make it kernel. 😭
• voter_node — a list of bcm voters. it's a whole voter group chat. 👑
• tcs_wait — a mask for which buckets require TCS completion. mask says which buckets gotta wait for TCS completion. periodt. 🎀
