✨ Members

like, here's the whole cast of characters, and every single one is a main character in their own way 💅

• vb — the vb2 buffer. iconic, essential, we love her 🫶
• list — list head for the buffers queue. she's the one keeping everyone in line, fr fr 📋
• paddr — DMA start addresses. lowkey the actual physical whereabouts of your data ✨
• index — an identifier of this buffer at the DMA engine. her little name tag at the party 🎀

ngl, this struct is small but she's highkey doing a lot. four fields, zero fluff 💀
