STRUCT MCFQSPI_CS_CONTROL(9)
π struct mcfqspi_cs_control(9) π
okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is struct mcfqspi_cs_control β literally the chip select control for the coldfire qspi driver. she's small, she's iconique, she has function pointers. let's get into it π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
struct mcfqspi_cs_control {
int (*setup)(struct mcfqspi_cs_control *);
void (*teardown)(struct mcfqspi_cs_control *);
void (*select)(struct mcfqspi_cs_control *, u8, bool);
void (*deselect)(struct mcfqspi_cs_control *, u8, bool);
};
no cap, that's the whole struct. four pointers and a dream π¦
πΈ Members πΈ
setupβ sets up the control: allocates the gpio's, etc. she may beNULL, so don't come for her if she ghosts you. πteardownβ finishes up with the control: frees the gpio's, etc. also allowed to beNULL. lowkey the responsible one. π§Ήselectβ outputs the signals that select the device. can not beNULLβ this one is required, periodt. π₯deselectβ outputs the signals that deselect the device. can not beNULLeither. two absolutely non-negotiable icons. π
π Description π
so here's the tea β the QSPI module has 4 hardware chip selects. we don't use them. i know, i know β four whole chip selects just sitting there, and we said "nah." π
instead, platforms are required to supply a mcfqspi_cs_control as a part of the platform data for each QSPI master controller. that's the vibe check: bring your own cs control, one per master controller.
and the only functions that are actually required are select and deselect. setup and teardown? optional, bestie. everything else? mandatory. iykyk π«Ά

and that's the whole page, bestie β no notes, she ate. π
anyway, source tease: this came out of ./arch/m68k/include/asm, dated October 2026, page struct mcfqspi_cs_control(9). mwah, stan. πππ
