STRUCT DENALI_CHIP(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, gather round, because this is struct denali_chip — the per-chip data of Denali NAND 💅

and yes, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel API things, iykyk) 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's literally the whole shape of it, no cap:

struct denali_chip {
    struct nand_chip chip;
    struct list_head node;
    unsigned int nsels;
    struct denali_chip_sel sels[];
};

she's a struct, she's got a flexible array member at the end (sels[]), she's iconic 👑

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so let's do a vibe check on every single field, one by one, because we do NOT skip members on this page 🍓

• chip — the base NAND chip structure 🌱 lowkey the main character of this struct tbh
• node — a node to be used to associate this chip with the controller 🔗 it's giving "put me in the list, bestie"
• nsels — the number of CS lines of this chip ✨ an unsigned int, so, you know, a count
• sels — the array of per-cs data 💖 (that's "per-chip-select" data, in case you were wondering) and note it's declared sels[], so it's the flexible-array-member situation at the end of the struct

little reminder: nsels says how many CS lines there are, and sels[] is where the per-cs data actually lives — they're a package deal, fr fr

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

go read these next, bestie, they're all connected:

• Kernel file ./drivers/mtd/nand/raw/denali.h 📄
• struct denali_chip_sel(9) — the per-cs data situation 🎀
• struct denali_controller(9) — the controller that node links you up with 👑

and that's the whole page!! 💖 this one lives in ./drivers/mtd/nand/raw, and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, go off, read your Denali NAND structs, and remember: every CS line deserves its own data 🦋✨💅
