STRUCT MT7621_PCIE(9)
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct mt7621_pcie β the PCIe host info, bestie. That's literally it, that's the whole vibe. It's the little struct that holds everything the MediaTek MT7621 PCIe controller needs to know about itself π
This page lives in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, so likeβ¦ kernel-internals territory, iykyk π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
struct mt7621_pcie {
struct device *dev;
void __iomem *base;
struct list_head ports;
bool resets_inverted;
};
Four members, no notes, no cap. Copy it exactly, don't be out here free-styling the field names π

Ok so here's the group chat roll call for every single field, and yes every one matters:
devβ Pointer to the PCIe device. Like, the actualstruct devicepointer, not a copy, not a vibe. A pointer. π₯baseβ The IO Mapped Register Base. This is yourvoid __iomem *, so like, treat it with respect β it's memory-mapped I/O and it's giving main character energy.portsβ Pointer to PCIe port information. It's astruct list_head, so it's a linked list node, and it's holding onto all the port deets for you π¦resets_invertedβ Depends on chip revision: reset lines are inverted. Yes, depends on chip revision. Abool. So some chips say "inverted" and some say "not inverted" and you have to actually check before you assume. Not me finding this out the hard way π
Real talk: the whole resets_inverted situation is chip-revision-dependent, so pls pls pls don't hardcode an assumption about it. That's the entire point of the field existing π
