STRUCT PWM_OMAP_DMTIMER_CHIP(9)

💅 struct pwm_omap_dmtimer_chip(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense 💅

okay so bestie, you've wandered into the kernel API manual for struct pwm_omap_dmtimer_chip and honestly? this is the cute little wrapper struct that makes an omap dmtimer pretend to be a pwm chip. it's giving "middle management but make it silicon" ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct pwm_omap_dmtimer_chip — the structure that represents a pwm chip corresponding to omap dmtimer. literally that's its whole job. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, verbatim, do not touch:

struct pwm_omap_dmtimer_chip {
    struct omap_dm_timer *dm_timer;
    const struct omap_dm_timer_ops *pdata;
    struct platform_device *dm_timer_pdev;
 };

three pointers. that's it. that's the struct. lowkey iconic in its minimalism 🦋

---

🧩 Members 🧩

time for the member-by-member vibe check, bestie 💖

• dm_timer — pointer to omap dm timer. this is the actual timer doing the work, the main character of this whole situation 👑
• pdata — pointer to omap dm timer ops. the ops table! the function-pointer bestie that tells you what this timer can do 💅
• dm_timer_pdev — pointer to omap dm timer platform device. the platform device it's all attached to — the home address, if you will 🏠
