STRUCT MLX90635_DATA(9)

💜 NAME

struct mlx90635_data — the private data struct for the MLX90635 device, aka the little backstage closet where this temperature sensor keeps all its stuff 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS

struct mlx90635_data {
    struct i2c_client *client;
    struct mutex lock;
    struct regmap *regmap;
    struct regmap *regmap_ee;
    u16 emissivity;
    struct regulator *regulator;
    int powerstatus;
    unsigned long interaction_ts;
 };

Bestie, that's the whole vibe right there — eight fields, zero drama, all business 💅

🫶 Members

• client — the I2C client of the device. literally who this sensor is talking to on the bus 🌸
• lock — an internal mutex, and ngl it's kinda the main character here: a single triggered measurement needs multiple reads, so this lock exists to keep the data consistent. no cap, it's holding everything together 🔥
• regmap — the regmap of the device registers. your regular, everyday register map ✨
• regmap_ee — the regmap of the device EEPROM, which (fun fact) can be cached 💖
• emissivity — the object emissivity, a u16 from 0 to 1000, where 1000 = 1. yes, that's the scale, she's built different 🦋
• regulator — the regulator of the device. power supply energy 👑
• powerstatus — the current POWER status of the device (yes, it's uppercase in the name and we respect it) 🌈
• interaction_ts — timestamp of the last temperature read, measured in jiffies, and it's used for power management. so basically "when did we last hang out" but for power 🕐

okay that's the whole page, slay 💅 it lives over in ./drivers/iio/temperature, dated October 2026, and this was struct mlx90635_data(9) from the Kernel API Manual — go read the source file if you wanna know more, iykyk 🎀✨
