STRUCT INV_MPU6050_PLATFORM_DATA(9)

💅 struct inv_mpu6050_platform_data(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're reading manpages now, this is our era 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct inv_mpu6050_platform_data — the platform data situation for the mpu driver 🫶

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

struct inv_mpu6050_platform_data {
    __s8 orientation[9];
 };

that's the whole struct. nine tiny __s8 values in an array called orientation and honestly? she's minimal and I respect it 💅

🦋 Members 🦋

• orientation — the orientation matrix of the chip 👑 heads up: this one's deprecated in favor of the mounting matrix retrieved from device-tree. so like… it still exists, but it's giving legacy energy, yk?

💖 Description 💖

so this struct is basically a little care package of platform-specific info telling everyone how to configure the MPU6050 so it actually works on your platform 🌈

the orientation matrices are 3x3 rotation matrices — they get applied to the data to rotate it from the mounting orientation over to the platform orientation. spin that data, bestie 🔄

and the rules for those values are strict, no cap:

• every value must be one of 0, 1, or -1
• each row and each column should have exactly 1 non-zero value ✅

like, vibe check your matrix before you ship it, fr fr.

🚨 Deprecated in favor of mounting matrix retrieved from device-tree. so yeah, she's iconic but she's retired — use the device-tree route.

and that's the page, bestie!! 💜 this little gem came from ./include/linux/platform_data, dated October 2026, and it's living in the Kernel API Manual as struct inv_m...latform_data(9) — slay, go configure your IMU 🧚‍♀️✨🍓
