STRUCT RTL8365MB(9)

💅 struct rtl8365mb(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's literally the driver private data page. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct rtl8365mb — driver private data. that's it, that's the whole vibe. private. data. for the driver. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct rtl8365mb {
    struct realtek_priv *priv;
    int irq;
    const struct rtl8365mb_chip_info *chip_info;
    struct rtl8365mb_cpu cpu;
    struct mutex mib_lock;
    struct rtl8365mb_port ports[RTL8365MB_MAX_NUM_PORTS];
    struct phylink_pcs pcs;
    bool sds_supported;
 };

like, look at her. she's got everything. 🌈

✨ Members ✨

• priv — pointer to the parent realtek_priv data. her parent, her roots, her whole lineage 🫶
• irq — the registered IRQ, or zero. that's the whole range, no notes 😌
• chip_info — chip-specific info about the attached switch. it's giving "which chip are we even dealing with" energy 🔥
• cpu — CPU tagging and CPU port configuration for this chip. very main character, very CPU 👑
• mib_lock — a mutex that prevents concurrent reads of MIB counters. no two besties reading the counters at the same time, periodt 💀
• ports — per-port data. one for every port, no cap 🧚
• pcs — the PCS for the SerDes external interface. external interface, external slay ⭐
• sds_supported — SerDes tuning parameters match the chip option, so the SerDes interface modes can be advertised. literally the green light for advertising those modes ✨

---

💜 Description 💜

Private data for this driver. short, sweet, iconic. that's the whole description and honestly? she ate. 🎀

ngl bestie, if you ever forget what struct rtl8365mb is holding, just remember: priv, irq, chip_info, cpu, mib_lock, ports, pcs, sds_supported. eight little members, one big vibe check. 💅
