STRUCT DFL_FPGA_PORT_OPS(9)
π NAME π
okay so this is struct dfl_fpga_port_ops β literally just "port ops", that's the whole vibe. it's a struct from the dfl_fpga_port_ops(9) page in the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
here's the whole thing, exactly as it lives, no cap:
struct dfl_fpga_port_ops {
const char *name;
struct module *owner;
struct list_head node;
int (*get_id)(struct dfl_feature_dev_data *fdata);
int (*enable_set)(struct dfl_feature_dev_data *fdata, bool enable);
};
like, five members, all mains, no filler. we love to see it π«Ά
πΈ Members πΈ
okay let's meet the cast, one by one:
nameβ the name of this port ops π·οΈ it's the thing that gets matched up with the port platform device, so pick a good one, iykyk.ownerβ a pointer to themodulethat owns this port ops. like, whose name is on the lease, fr fr.nodeβ the node that links port ops into the global list π it's the little connector that keeps everybody in the group chat.get_idβ gets the port id straight from the hardware. hardware knows, hardware tells π₯enable_setβ enables or disables the port, on and off, slay π
π SEE ALSO π
if you're gonna go read more (and you should, bestie, it's a whole ecosystem), start with the kernel file ./drivers/fpga/dfl.h and then go meet the whole friend group:

ok that's the whole page π no options to memorise, no scary defaults, just a struct and its five iconic members. you ate that, honestly.
and that's a wrap, bestie! π¦ this one comes to you from ./drivers/fpga, stamped October 2026 β go forth and port-ops responsibly β¨π
