πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct sti_mbox_pdata(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct sti_mbox_pdata β€” literally one of the cutest little platform config structs you'll ever meet in the STi mailbox world πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct sti_mbox_pdata β€” the STi Mailbox platform specific configuration πŸ¦‹

Like, that's her whole job. She's the config baddie that tells the STi mailbox driver what the hardware looks like. No cap. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct sti_mbox_pdata {
    unsigned int            num_inst;
    unsigned int            num_chan;
 };

Look at her. Two members. Tiny. Iconic. She ate and left absolutely no crumbs πŸ‘‘


🫢 Members 🫢

  • num_inst β€” the Maximum number of instances in one HW Mailbox ✨ like how many of these bad boys can live in a single hardware mailbox? That's her. She's keeping count, fr fr.
  • num_chan β€” the Maximum number of channel per instance πŸŽ€ so per instance, how many channels max? She knows. She's not guessing. Very main character energy.
πŸ’€ reminder: these are maximums, bestie β€” the manpage says maximum, so we say maximum. We don't invent lore. πŸ™ˆ
