STRUCT PXA_MBUS_PIXELFMT(9)

💅 struct pxa_mbus_pixelfmt — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so this is the glow-up guide to struct pxa_mbus_pixelfmt, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "data format on the media bus" and we're obsessed 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct pxa_mbus_pixelfmt — literally just: the data format on the media bus. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct pxa_mbus_pixelfmt {
    const char              *name;
    u32 fourcc;
    enum pxa_mbus_packing   packing;
    enum pxa_mbus_order     order;
    enum pxa_mbus_layout    layout;
    u8 bits_per_sample;
 };

no cap, that's the whole struct. six members, all iconic, all doing their little job 👑

🎀 Members 🎀

• name — the name of the format, bestie. it's a const char *, so it's just a cute little label telling you what you're looking at 💖
• fourcc — a u32 fourcc code, and this is the one you'd get if the data gets stored in memory in the following way: (yes, that's how the original tells it — the "following way" is just vibes and context, iykyk 🙈)
• packing — the type of sample-packing that has to be used. enum pxa_mbus_packing, mandatory, no skipping ✨
• order — sample order when storing in memory. enum pxa_mbus_order. it's giving "sequence matters" 💅
• layout — planes layout in memory, as an enum pxa_mbus_layout. where everything sits, fr fr 🌸
• bits_per_sample — how many bits the bridge has to sample. it's a u8, so keep it smol 🍓

ngl bestie, this page came from ./drivers/media/platform/intel, dated October 2026, and it's filed as struct pxa_mbus_pixelfmt(9). that's the whole source/version/date situation — slay, periodt 💀👑
