STRUCT SUPPLIER_BINDINGS(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to struct supplier_bindings(9), bestie — that's the page title, and it lives in the Kernel API Manual ✨. This struct is literally struct supplier_bindings — property parsing functions for suppliers 🫶.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct supplier_bindings {
           struct device_node *(*parse_prop)(struct device_node *np, const char
       *prop_name, int index);
           struct device_node *(*get_con_dev)(struct device_node *np);
           bool optional;
           u8 fwlink_flags;
        };

🫶 Members 🫶

• parse_prop — the function name parse_prop finds the node corresponding to a supplier phandle 🔥. Its little sub-fields are:
  • parse_prop.np: pointer to the device node holding the supplier phandle property.
  • parse_prop.prop_name: name of the property holding a phandle value.
  • parse_prop.index: for properties holding a list of phandles, this is the index into the list.
• get_con_dev — if the consumer node containing the property is never converted to a struct device, implement this ops so fw_devlink can use it to find the true consumer 👑.
• optional — describes whether a supplier is mandatory or not.
• fwlink_flags — optional fwnode link flags to use when creating a fwnode link for this property.

🌸 Return 🌸

parse_prop return values are:

• phandle node pointer with refcount incremented. Caller must of_node_put on it when done.
• NULL if no phandle found at index.
