STRUCT EXYNOS_MBOX_DRIVER_DATA(9)
π NAME π
struct exynos_mbox_driver_data β bestie, it's literally the platform-specific mailbox configuration struct, no cap β¨
So this is from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's giving "small but essential." π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct exynos_mbox_driver_data {
u32 intgr;
u32 intgr_shift;
u32 intmr;
u32 intmr_mask;
int num_chans;
};
Okay so that's the whole struct. Five fields. Not a single one more. She's compact, she's efficient, she's an icon π
π¦ Members π¦
Lowkey the most important part, so pay attention bestie π«Ά
intgrβ this one's the offset to the IRQ generation register, aka the doorbell to the APM co-processor π Like, you're literally ringing the bell to get its attention. Obsessed.intgr_shiftβ the shift you apply to the value you're writing to that IRQ generation register. Yes, a shift. On the value. That value. That's the vibe β¨intmrβ the offset to the IRQ mask register. Different register, different offset, don't mix them up πintmr_maskβ the actual value you write to the mask register to mask out all the interrupts. All of them. Every single one. Silence. π€«num_chansβ the number of channels the mailbox can support. And just so we're clear, this is hardware capability β it's not vibes-based, it's what the hardware can actually do π₯

Go read those too, iykyk π
β¨ cute little sign-off β¨
So this page lives in ./drivers/mailbox (yes, that's the source), it's tagged October 2026 for the version/date sitch, and the whole thing is filed under struct exyno..._driver_data(9) because the header was too iconic to fit the full name ππ Slay, go configure some mailboxes, bestie! π§βπ π
