STRUCT LP855X_PLATFORM_DATA(9)
π struct lp855x_platform_data(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the struct lp855x_platform_data(9) page β that's the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "tiny struct, big backlight energy" β¨. This is the place where all the lp855 platform-specific data lives, and we're gonna go through it together, no skips, no cap π«Ά.
β¨ NAME β¨
struct lp855x_platform_data β literally the lp855 platform-specific data container π. that's it, that's the name, and she ate.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
here's the glow-up, bestie β the whole struct, exactly as she is:
struct lp855x_platform_data {
const char *name;
u8 device_control;
u8 initial_brightness;
unsigned int period_ns;
int size_program;
struct lp855x_rom_data *rom_data;
};
look at her. six members. zero notes. π
π Members π
okay so this is the part where we meet each member one by one, like a little friend group ππ:
nameβ the backlight driver name π¦. and listen β if you don't define it, a default name gets set for you, so the struct is never out here nameless. iconic of her, honestly.device_controlβ this one holds the value of theDEVICE CONTROLregister β. yes, the actual register value. very much main character energy.initial_brightnessβ the initial value of backlight brightness π. it's the first impression, the opening number, the "hi bestie, here's how bright we're starting" β¨.period_nsβ the platform-specific pwm period value β±οΈ. unit is nano, so like, nanoseconds β tiny tiny units. and here's the catch: it's only valid when mode isPWM_BASEDπ. any other mode? not her moment, don't @ her.size_programβ the total size oflp855x_rom_dataπ. literally just the total size. she's the measure twice, cut once of the group.rom_dataβ the list of new eeprom/eprom registers πΎπ₯. yes, a list, and yes, it's exactly the kind of thing that makessize_programmatter. they're a package deal, iykyk.
