STRUCT HX8279_ANALOG_GAMMA(9)

✨ struct hx8279_analog_gamma(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — today's main character is struct hx8279_analog_gamma, and it's literally all about Analog Gamma Adjustment. yes, gamma. no, not the radiation kind (well...). stay with me 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct hx8279_analog_gamma — Analog Gamma Adjustment. that's it, that's the vibe. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct hx8279_analog_gamma {
    u8 pos[17];
    u8 neg[17];
 };

look at her. two arrays, seventeen u8s each, perfectly symmetrical. it's giving balance. it's giving aesthetic. 🦋

👑 Members 👑

• pos — the positive gamma op's input voltage, and it gets adjusted by VGP(H/L). 💖
• neg — the negative gamma op's input voltage, adjusted by VGN(H/L). 💜

so yeah, one for pos, one for neg, and they both get tweaked by their own little VGP/VGN high/low situation. iykyk.

🔥 Description 🔥

okay so here's the tea, bestie: Analog Gamma correction is performed with 17+17 reference voltages — yes, seventeen plus seventeen, no cap — and those get changed with resistor streams, and they're defined with 17 register values for positive and 17 for negative. so that's where the two arrays come from. it all adds up, fr fr. ✨

each register holds resistance values, at 8.5ohms per unit, for the following gamma levels:

0, 8, 16, 28, 40, 56, 80, 128, 176, 200, 216, 228, 240, 248, 252, 255

count 'em. yep, sixteen levels, and the register values are what make the whole analog gamma thing happen. slay. 💅

ngl, if you're here you're probably deep in the panel driver trenches. good luck bestie, you got this. 🌈
