STRUCT CA8210_PRIV(9)

💖 struct ca8210_priv(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the whole entire gossip page for struct ca8210_priv, the private data structure for the ca8210 driver. it's giving backstage-pass-only, iykyk 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the whole struct in all its glory, no edits, no notes, exactly as it is:

struct ca8210_priv {
    struct spi_device *spi;
    struct ieee802154_hw *hw;
    bool hw_registered;
    spinlock_t lock;
    struct workqueue_struct *mlme_workqueue;
    struct workqueue_struct *irq_workqueue;
    struct sk_buff *tx_skb;
    u8 nextmsduhandle;
    struct clk *clk;
    int last_dsn;
    struct ca8210_test test;
    bool async_tx_pending;
    u8 *sync_command_response;
    struct completion ca8210_is_awake;
    int sync_down, sync_up;
    struct completion spi_transfer_complete, sync_exchange_complete;
    bool promiscuous;
    int retries;
 };

🦋 Members 🦋

kay so every single field, one by one, no skips, periodt:

• spi — pointer to the ca8210 spi device object 💫
• hw — pointer to the ca8210 ieee802154_hw object 🫶
• hw_registered — true if hw has been registered with ieee802154 (like, the official "we're official" flag 👑)
• lock — spinlock protecting the private data area 🔒
• mlme_workqueue — workqueue for triggering MLME Reset 📋
• irq_workqueue — workqueue for irq processing ⚡
• tx_skb — current socket buffer to transmit 📦
• nextmsduhandle — the msdu handle to pass to the 15.4 MAC layer for the next transmission, no cap 🎯
• clk — external clock provided by the ca8210 🕰️
• last_dsn — sequence number of the last data packet received, used for resend detection 👀
• test — test interface data section for this instance 🧪
• async_tx_pending — true if an asynchronous transmission was started and is not complete (aka the "still cooking" bool 🍳)
• sync_command_response — pointer to buffer to fill with sync response 📝
• ca8210_is_awake — nonzero if ca8210 is initialised, ready for comms ☀️
• sync_down — counts number of downstream synchronous commands 🔽
• sync_up — counts number of upstream synchronous commands 🔼
• spi_transfer_complete — completion object for a single spi_transfer ✅
• sync_exchange_complete — completion object for a complete synchronous API exchange 🔁
• promiscuous — whether the ca8210 is in promiscuous mode or not 🙈
• retries — records how many times the current pending spi transfer has been retried 😮‍💨

bestie reminder: every one of those is literally spelled (9), they're all manual section 9 entries, don't @ me 💅
