STRUCT RTL8365MB_CHIP_INFO(9)

💅 struct rtl8365mb_chip_info(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ and it's all about one little struct that holds the static, chip-specific info. no cap, it's giving "ID card for your switch chip" energy.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct rtl8365mb_chip_info — static chip-specific info. literally the facts about a chip that never change, and honestly? iconic.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct rtl8365mb_chip_info {
    const char *name;
    u32 chip_id;
    u32 chip_ver;
    const struct rtl8365mb_extint extints[RTL8365MB_MAX_NUM_EXTINTS];
    const struct rtl8365mb_jam_tbl_entry *jam_table;
    size_t jam_size;
 };

there she is 💖 six fields, zero fluff, main character energy fr fr.

• name — the human-readable chip name 🏷️ like, what you'd actually call it out loud instead of screaming hex at people.
• chip_id — the chip identifier. it's the chip's literal ID, its whole "iykyk" moment 👑
• chip_ver — the chip silicon revision. so like, which version of the actual physical silicon you got 🌈
• extints — the available external interfaces. yup, an array, RTL8365MB_MAX_NUM_EXTINTS slots of const struct rtl8365mb_extint 🔌
• jam_table — the chip-specific initialization jam table 🍓 a const struct rtl8365mb_jam_tbl_entry *, and yeah it's the setup table for that specific chip.
• jam_size — size of the chip's jam table, as a size_t 📏 (the table above can't count itself, someone's gotta do it)

💀 Description 💀

so here's the vibe check: these data are specific to a given chip in the family of switches supported by this driver. every chip gets its own little profile, and lowkey that's how it should be 💅

and when you're adding support for another chip in the family? the manual is real clear about it: a new chip info should be added to the rtl8365mb_chip_infos array. that's the move, periodt. don't be out here freelancing 🙈

bestie note: this struct is static, chip-specific info — it's not the kind of thing you go mutating at runtime. respect the consts 🧚
