STRUCT TWL6030_GPADC_PLATFORM_DATA(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct twl6030_gpadc_platform_data(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual rn and this page is literally all about one struct β€” struct twl6030_gpadc_platform_data β€” and tbh it's giving "the setup sheet for your GPADC". it's the platform-specific data, the little bundle you hand over so the driver knows what it's working with. no cap, it's small but it's important 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

struct twl6030_gpadc_platform_data β€” platform specific data 🌸

like, that's the whole vibe. platform-specific data. it carries the stuff that changes depending on which board/platform you're on, so the driver doesn't have to guess. iconic behavior honestly πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

struct twl6030_gpadc_platform_data {
    const int nchannels;
    const struct iio_chan_spec *iio_channels;
    const struct twl6030_ideal_code *ideal;
    int (*start_conversion)(int channel);
    u8 (*channel_to_reg)(int channel);
    int (*calibrate)(struct twl6030_gpadc_data *gpadc);
};

look at her. six members, all const-y and pointer-y, and three of them are function pointers so you know she's got main character energy πŸ”₯


πŸ‘‘ Members πŸ‘‘

okay so let's go through the whole cast, one by one, no skips ✨

  • nchannels β€” the number of GPADC channels. it's a const int, so it is what it is, periodt πŸ’€
  • iio_channels β€” the iio channels. yep, that's literally it, it's the iio channels bestie πŸ¦‹ (it's a const struct iio_chan_spec *, iykyk)
  • ideal β€” pointer to the calibration parameters πŸ’œ this is where the "what should the numbers be" lives
  • start_conversion β€” pointer to the ADC start conversion function. you give it an int channel and it kicks off a conversion, slay ⭐
  • channel_to_reg β€” pointer to the ADC function that converts a channel into a register address, so you can read the conversion result. returns a u8, very demure, very mindful πŸŽ€
  • calibrate β€” pointer to the calibration function. it takes a struct twl6030_gpadc_data *gpadc β€” the actual gpadc data β€” and does the calibrating thing 🌈
fr fr, three of these are function pointers, which means this struct is half configuration, half "here's the callbacks you should use". don't sleep on it πŸ™ˆ

and that's the page!! 🧚 full credit to the kernel folks β€” this one lives in ./drivers/iio/adc, dated October 2026, and it's a whole struct twl60...latform_data(9) moment. mwah, bye pookie πŸ’‹πŸ’–
