STRUCT OF_ENDPOINT(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ struct of_endpoint(9) ✨

okay bestie, listen up 💖 we're in the Kernel API Manual today — yes, the Kernel API Manual, capital letters, very serious, very slay — and our main character is struct of_endpoint, aka the OF graph endpoint data structure 🎀

It's giving "small struct, big responsibilities." Let's get into it 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Like, here's the whole entire thing, no cap:

struct of_endpoint {
    unsigned int port;
    unsigned int id;
    const struct device_node *local_node;
};

Three fields. That's it. That's the whole struct. Iconic minimalism honestly 👑

💅 Members 💅

  • port — the identifier of a port this endpoint belongs to, and that identifier is literally the value of the reg property 🔥 so yeah, reg is doing the heavy lifting here.
  • id — the identifier of this endpoint, again the value of the reg property. yes, another reg. it's reg all the way down 🫶
  • local_node — a pointer to the device_node of this endpoint. just a pointer, living its best life, pointing at a node 💜

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

peep the kernel file ./include/linux/of_graph.h for these besties, they're all in the same friend group fr fr:

💀 no warnings on this page bestie, it's a chill little struct page. read it, love it, reference it responsibly ✨

okay and finally, the cute little sign-off 🎀 this page lives under ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and it's struct of_endpoint(9) — so go forth and traverse the OF graph, you absolute legend 🌈👑💖
