STRUCT MESON_REG_DESC(9)
π struct meson_reg_desc(9) β kernel API manual, but make it make sense
okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the main character of this page is struct meson_reg_desc. it's a tiny little struct, but she's doing so much behind the scenes. let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
struct meson_reg_desc β a register descriptor. that's it, that's her job title π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
here's the whole vibe, literally character for character:
struct meson_reg_desc {
unsigned int reg;
unsigned int bit;
};
two fields. two. and yet π (also yes, that trailing space before the closing brace is in there, iykyk, we don't touch it)
π¦ Members π¦
regβ the register offset in the regmap. this is where she lives, fr fr πbitβ the bit index in that register. this is which little bit we're talking about, no cap β
π Description π
so what's the point of this whole struct? the structure describes the information needed to control pull, pull-enable, direction, etc. for a single pin π and that's the entire story β one pin, one descriptor, all the pull/pull-enable/direction energy in one adorable little package π«Ά
ngl it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" and i'm obsessed π

go check these out, they're all connected bestie:

okay and for the cute sign-off, the source/version + date on this one lives at ./drivers/pinctrl/meson and she's dated October 2026 π§π so likeβ¦ future girlie pop of the pinctrl tree. slay. periodt. π«
