🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual and this page is struct mipi_dsi_msg(9) — literally read/write DSI buffer, that's the whole vibe. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the struct in all its main-character glory, no cap:

       struct mipi_dsi_msg {
           u8 channel;
           u8 type;
           u16 flags;
           size_t tx_len;
           const void *tx_buf;
           size_t rx_len;
           void *rx_buf;
        };
