STRUCT MIPI_DSI_DRIVER(9)

💅 struct mipi_dsi_driver(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct mipi_dsi_driver(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the DSI driver struct, and honestly? she's giving main character energy in the DRM/MIPI world 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct mipi_dsi_driver — literally just. the DSI driver. that's her. that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the shape of her, exactly as she is, no edits no cap:

struct mipi_dsi_driver {
    struct device_driver driver;
    int(*probe)(struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi);
    void (*remove)(struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi);
    void (*shutdown)(struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi);
 };

like look at that. four fields. immaculate. 💅

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• driver — the device driver model driver. yes that's the field name and yes it's also the field name inside it. we don't question the elder structs, we just respect them 🙈
• probe — callback for device binding 🔥 this is the "hiii bestie let's get acquainted" moment.
• remove — callback for device unbinding 😭 the "okay bye, love u, take care" moment.
• shutdown — called at shutdown time to quiesce the device. she's the one making sure everything's calm and quiet before the lights go out 🌙✨

no cap: these are callbacks — the kernel calls you, you don't call them. don't be out here invoking probe yourself, that's not the vibe 💀
