STRUCT SPEAR_SMI_PLAT_DATA(9)

💖 struct spear_smi_plat_data(9) 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about struct spear_smi_plat_data — literally the platform structure for configuring smi. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she's a config queen 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct spear_smi_plat_data — the platform structure for configuring smi, bestie. no cap, that's what she does 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct spear_smi_plat_data {
    unsigned long clk_rate;
    int num_flashes;
    struct spear_smi_flash_info *board_flash_info;
    struct device_node *np[MAX_NUM_FLASH_CHIP];
 };

like… look at her. four members. clean. iconic. a whole little outfit 💅

🦋 Members 🦋

• clk_rate — the clk rate at which SMI must operate. that's the number, that's the assignment, she operates at it, periodt ⭐
• num_flashes — number of flashes present on board. just a count. a headcount. how many flashes showed up to the party 🔥
• board_flash_info — specific details of each flash present on board, as a struct spear_smi_flash_info *. so this one's the receipts for every flash on the board 📋✨
• np — array of DT node pointers for all possible flash chip devices. it's declared as struct device_node *np[MAX_NUM_FLASH_CHIP]; so yes, it's an array, sized by MAX_NUM_FLASH_CHIP, holding pointers to DT nodes, for all possible flash chip devices, not just the ones that showed up. very main character energy, planning ahead 💜

no extra lore here, she's not mysterious, every field is right there in the synopsis. read the struct, know the struct 🎀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./include/linux/mtd/spear_smi.h — go look at the header, it's giving source of truth 📁
• struct spear_smi_flash_info(9) — the other struct, the flash-details one, linked and everything 💖

okay that's the whole page, go touch some flash chips (metaphorically) 🧚‍♀️✨

this little gem lives in ./include/linux/mtd and was dated October 2026 — so yes, from the future, slay 👑💫 thanks for reading bestie, mwah 🫶
