STRUCT SX_COMMON_CHIP_INFO(9)

👑 struct sx_common_chip_info(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💅

Okay so this is the inside scoop on struct sx_common_chip_info — literally the Semtech Sensor private chip information and the main character of this whole page. It's from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and yes she's serving documentation realness today. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct sx_common_chip_info {
    unsigned int reg_stat;
    unsigned int reg_irq_msk;
    unsigned int reg_enable_chan;
    unsigned int reg_reset;
    unsigned int mask_enable_chan;
    unsigned int stat_offset;
    unsigned int irq_msk_offset;
    unsigned int num_channels;
    int num_default_regs;
    struct sx_common_ops ops;
    const struct iio_chan_spec *iio_channels;
    int num_iio_channels;
    struct iio_info iio_info;
 };

Like, that's the whole struct. Every field. No skips, no "etc." — we don't do that here. 💖

🦋 Members 🦋

Okay bestie, let's go field by field, because every single one of these matters and I refuse to leave anyone out. 🌸

• reg_stat — the address of the main status register. Like, the big one. The status girlie. 👑
• reg_irq_msk — the address of the IRQ mask register.
• reg_enable_chan — the address you use to enable/disable channels. And listen: each phase presented by the sensor is an IIO channel, okay? That's the vibe. 💫
• reg_reset — the address of the reset register.
• mask_enable_chan — the mask over the channels bits in the enable channel register. Masking, but make it fashion. 💅
• stat_offset — the offset you check the phase status at.
• irq_msk_offset — the offset to enable the interrupt in the IRQ mask register.
• num_channels — the number of channels. That's it, that's the field. 🔢
• num_default_regs — the number of internal registers that can be configured.
• ops — private function pointers. The backstage crew, if you will. 🫶
• iio_channels — the description of the exposed iio channels.
• num_iio_channels — the number of iio_channels. Keeping count, always counting. ✨
• iio_info — the iio_info structure for this driver. Iconic, no notes.

ngl this page lives in ./drivers/iio/proximity, dated October 2026, and its full name is struct sx_common_chip_info(9). Slay. 💀✨
