STRUCT MESON_REG_DESC(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… 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 πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct meson_reg_desc β€” a register descriptor. that's it, that's her job title πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, literally character for character:

struct meson_reg_desc {
    unsigned int reg;
    unsigned int bit;
 };

two fields. two. and yet πŸ‘‘ (also yes, that trailing space before the closing brace is in there, iykyk, we don't touch it)


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • reg β€” the register offset in the regmap. this is where she lives, fr fr πŸ“
  • bit β€” the bit index in that register. this is which little bit we're talking about, no cap ⭐

🌈 Description 🌈

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 πŸ’… and that's the entire story β€” one pin, one descriptor, all the pull/pull-enable/direction energy in one adorable little package 🫢

ngl it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" and i'm obsessed 😭

πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

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

  • Kernel file ./drivers/pinctrl/meson/pinctrl-meson.h
  • struct meson_pmx_group(9)
  • struct meson_pmx_func(9)
  • enum meson_reg_type(9)
  • enum meson_pinconf_drv(9)

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 πŸ§šπŸ’œ so like… future girlie pop of the pinctrl tree. slay. periodt. πŸ’«
