STRUCT NFC_MEI_PHY(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct nfc_mei_phy — bestie, this is the NFC description of the MEI PHY and its interface functions 💖 (and yes, it's a struct, we stan a struct)

This page lives in the Kernel API Manual btw, in case you were wondering where you wandered into ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct nfc_mei_phy {
    struct mei_cl_device *cldev;
    struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev;
    wait_queue_head_t send_wq;
    u8 fw_ivn;
    u8 vendor_id;
    u8 radio_type;
    u8 reserved;
    u16 req_id;
    u16 recv_req_id;
    int powered;
    int hard_fault;
 };

okay so that's the whole shape of it, no cap 🫶

Every field, every vibe, let's go 💅

• cldev — the mei client device 🎀
• hdev — the nfc hci device, iconic
• send_wq — the send completion wait queue, it's giving patience 🌸
• fw_ivn — NFC Interface Version Number 🔥
• vendor_id — NFC manufacturer ID, who made you bestie 😭
• radio_type — NFC radio type 📻
• reserved — reserved for alignment, it's literally just there for the vibes 🦋
• req_id — the message counter ⭐
• recv_req_id — the reception message counter, twins fr fr 💜
• powered — the device is in powered state ⚡
• hard_fault — < 0 if a hardware error occurred and prevents normal operation 💀 (that's the bad one, pay attention)

ngl, if hard_fault is < 0, things are NOT slaying. that's a real hardware error blocking normal operation, so treat it with the respect it deserves 🙈
