STRUCT IMG_ASCII_LCD_CTX(9)

💖 struct img_ascii_lcd_ctx(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> ✨ — this one's a little struct page, and it's literally the private-data glow-up for img_ascii_lcd_ctx(9). no cap, it's short, but every field matters 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct img_ascii_lcd_ctx — the private data structure, i.e. the lil' bag of secrets this driver keeps to itself 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, verbatim:

struct img_ascii_lcd_ctx {
    struct linedisp linedisp;
    union {
      void __iomem *base;
      struct regmap *regmap;
    };
    u32 offset;
 };

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so let's meet the cast 🎀

• linedisp — the line display structure 💖 your actual display bestie.
• {unnamed_union} — anonymous 👀 yeah, it's an unnamed union, it has no name, it's mysterious like that. main character energy fr fr.
• base — the base address of the LCD registers 🌈 (a void __iomem *, living inside that anonymous union alongside regmap).
• regmap — the regmap through which the LCD registers are accessed 🔥 (a struct regmap *, the other half of the union).
• offset — the offset within regmap to the start of the LCD registers ⭐ (a u32, tiny but iconic).

lowkey important: base and regmap share an anonymous union, so it's one or the other, not both 💀 keep that in mind bestie.
