STRUCT CROS_EC_PLATFORM(9)

💜 struct cros_ec_platform(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual era ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of cros_ec_platform 💅 this is the little struct that carries around your ChromeOS EC platform info — the receipts, the vibes, the whole ✨situation✨. it lives in the kernel, it's lowkey iconic, and we're gonna read it together like a group chat at 2am 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct cros_ec_platform — ChromeOS EC platform information. that's it, that's the whole main-character job 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct cros_ec_platform {
    const char *ec_name;
    u16 cmd_offset;
};

look at her. two fields. no notes. ate and left no crumbs 👑

💖 Members 💖

• ec_name — the name of the EC device, like 'cros-ec', 'cros-pd', ... (you get the idea, the list goes on 💫). this is the name that shows up in /dev/ and in sysfs, so like, it's the one doing the introducing at the party 🌈. type is const char *, ngl she's a keeper.
• cmd_offset — the offset to apply for each command 🔥. it gets set when you're registering a device that sits behind another one — like, the device is standing behind its friend in the photo, y'know? 📸 type is u16, so keep it cute and keep it in range 💀.
