STRUCT CA8210_PLATFORM_DATA(9)

🦋 struct ca8210_platform_data(9) — the ca8210 platform data structure, bestie

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, iykyk) and it's literally just the ✨ platform data struct ✨ for the ca8210 driver. it's the lil bundle of settings you hand over so the driver knows how to talk to the chip. tiny struct, big main character energy. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ca8210_platform_data — the ca8210 platform data structure. that's it, that's the vibe. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole struct, copy it exactly, no cap:

struct ca8210_platform_data {
    bool extclockenable;
    unsigned int extclockfreq;
    unsigned int extclockgpio;
    struct gpio_desc *reset_gpio;
    struct gpio_desc *irq_gpio;
    int irq_id;
 };

---

💖 Members 💖

• extclockenable — a bool, and it's true if the external clock is to be enabled. so like… flip it on if you want the ext clock, leave it if you don't. 🕰️
• extclockfreq — the frequency of the external clock. the number, the speed, the whole vibe. 🔥
• extclockgpio — the ca8210 output gpio of the external clock. this is the pin the clock comes out of. ⚡
• reset_gpio — the ca8210 reset GPIO descriptor. poke this and the chip gets a fresh start, iconic. 🎀
• irq_gpio — the ca8210 interrupt GPIO descriptor. this is the pin that goes "hey bestie, something happened" 😭
• irq_id — the identifier for the ca8210 irq. it's the irq's name tag basically. 🏷️

and that's the whole page, bestie — no crumbs left behind 🍓. this lil baddie of a manpage came from ./drivers/net/ieee802154, dated October 2026, and it's filed under struct ca8210_platform_data(9). mwah, slay, periodt. 👑💜
