STRUCT ECAP_CNT_DEV(9)
π struct ecap_cnt_dev(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β we're looking at struct ecap_cnt_dev, which is literally the device private data structure. that's the whole vibe. it's the lil locker where this driver keeps all its stuff π
β¨ NAME β¨
struct ecap_cnt_dev β the device private data structure. yes that's it, that's the name, no cap π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
here's the whole shape of her, copy-pasted exactly so you don't have to squint:
struct ecap_cnt_dev {
bool enabled;
struct mutex lock;
struct clk *clk;
struct regmap *regmap;
atomic_t nb_ovf;
struct {
u8 ev_mode;
u32 time_cntr;
} pm_ctx;
};
look at her. iconic. main character energy fr fr π
πΈ MEMBERS πΈ
okay now the member-by-member breakdown, and yes we're doing all of them, none skipped, periodt:
enabledβ the device state, i.e. is she on or is she off πlockβ the synchronization lock, there specifically to prevent I/O race conditions. do not skip the lock bestie, that's how you get chaos π«Άclkβ the device clock β°regmapβ the device register map πΊοΈnb_ovfβ the number of overflows since capture start. counting the oopsies, love that for her πpm_ctxβ the device context for PM operations π§
and because pm_ctx is a whole lil inner struct, she's got her own sub-members:
pm_ctx.ev_modeβ the event mode bits βpm_ctx.time_cntrβ the timestamp counter value π₯
π SEE ALSO π
go peek at the kernel file, that's where the lore lives:
- Kernel file
./drivers/counter/ti-ecap-capture.c
π that's the whole page, no extra lore, i'm not out here inventing behaviour, that's not the vibe. everything above is exactly what the manual says, just with better energy β¨
and that's a wrap, bestie π this was struct ecap_cnt_dev(9) from the ./drivers/counter corner of the world, dated October 2026 β go off, drink some water, and remember: lock before you race π
