πŸ’… struct mlxreg_dpu(9) β€” device private data ✨

okay bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey one of the shortest ones you'll ever meet, so let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct mlxreg_dpu β€” literally just the device private data. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "holder of things" and honestly? iconic.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct mlxreg_dpu {
    struct device *dev;
    struct mlxreg_core_data *data;
    struct mlxreg_core_platform_data *io_data;
    struct platform_device *io_regs;
    struct mlxreg_core_hotplug_platform_data *hotplug_data;
    struct platform_device *hotplug;
 };

like, copy it exactly bestie, every field, every *, every semicolon β€” no cap πŸŽ€


πŸ‘‘ Members πŸ‘‘

okay so this is the part where we meet the whole cast, main character energy for each one:

that's it. that's the squad. six members and every single one of them is doing its job πŸ’…
