STRUCT PXA_CAMERA_FORMAT_XLATE(9)

💅 struct pxa_camera_format_xlate(9) — the kernel API glow-up

okay so bestie, let me put you onto struct pxa_camera_format_xlate from the kernel API manual — this is the little struct that plays matchmaker between your host and your sensor formats, and honestly? it's giving wingman energy 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct pxa_camera_format_xlate — the match between host and sensor formats 💖 (yes it's literally a matchmaking struct, no cap)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct pxa_camera_format_xlate {
    u32 code;
    const struct pxa_mbus_pixelfmt *host_fmt;
};

two members, zero drama. look at her. so clean. ✨

---

🎀 Members 🎀

• code — the code of a sensor provided format 👑 this is the sensor's little name tag
• host_fmt — the host format after host translation from code 🦋 so this is what code turns into once the host has done its thing

---

💜 Description 💜

okay so this is your host-and-sensor translation structure, fr fr. it gets used in the table of host and sensor format matchings inside pxa_camera_device — think of it as the group chat where every sensor format finds its host-format bestie 💅

and here's the fun part: a host can straight-up override the generic list generation by implementing get_formats, and then use it for format checks and format setup. main character behavior, honestly. the host said "i'll handle the roster myself" and slayed. 🔥

reminder bestie: this page lives in ./drivers/media/platform/intel, it's dated October 2026, and it's titled struct pxa_c...format_xlate(9) 💀 (yes the title really is truncated like that, we don't make the rules)

k that's the whole page, go forth and translate some formats, you're gonna eat 💅✨🎀🍓
