STRUCT MXL862XX_FW_VERSION(9)
π struct mxl862xx_fw_version(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β yes we're reading kernel docs together, that's the vibe now, and honestly? iconic.
Today's main character is struct mxl862xx_fw_version, and its whole entire job is holding a firmware version so you can compare it and display it. That's it. That's the struct. Lowkey perfect, no notes. β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct mxl862xx_fw_version {
u8 major;
u8 minor;
u16 revision;
};
that's the whole thing, bestie β three little members, all vibing in a struct. π«Ά
π Members π
majorβ the firmware major version. it's au8, so it's smol and cute and definitely not doing too much.minorβ the firmware minor version. also au8. also just here for the vibes.revisionβ the firmware revision number, and this one's au16, so it's got a little more room to be extra. π
ngl, this struct is literally just a glow-up container for version numbers. if you're trying to compare firmware versions or show them off somewhere, this is the little guy you carry them around in. π§
