STRUCT MLX90632_DATA(9)

💅 struct mlx90632_data(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for struct mlx90632_data, and it's literally the private little data clubhouse for the MLX90632 device 🎀 no cap, it's just the driver's own stash of state. iykyk.

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct mlx90632_data — private data for the MLX90632 device 💖 (yes, private, it's not for you, it's for the driver, respect the boundaries)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct mlx90632_data {
    struct i2c_client *client;
    struct mutex lock;
    struct regmap *regmap;
    u16 emissivity;
    u8 mtyp;
    u32 object_ambient_temperature;
    struct regulator *regulator;
    int powerstatus;
    unsigned long interaction_ts;
 };

like, that's the whole vibe right there 👑

bestie, let's go through the cast one by one, main character energy for each:

• client — the I2C client of the device 💅 that's who we're talking to.
• lock — internal mutex, there so multiple reads for a single measurement don't step on each other's toes 🙈 one at a time, bestie, one at a time.
• regmap — the regmap of the device ✨
• emissivity — object emissivity, and it goes from 0 to 1000 where 1000 = 1. so like, milli-emissivity, periodt 🔥
• mtyp — measurement type, the physical sensor configuration used for the extended range calculations 📐 don't sleep on it.
• object_ambient_temperature — ambient temperature at the object 🌡️ (this one might differ from the ambient temperature of the sensor — yes, they're different things, don't @ me).
• regulator — regulator of the device ⚡
• powerstatus — current POWER status of the device 👑
• interaction_ts — timestamp of the last temperature read, used for power management, in jiffies ⏱️ it's giving "I remember when you last called me".
