STRUCT TWL6030_GPADC_PLATFORM_DATA(9)
π struct twl6030_gpadc_platform_data(9) π
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 π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
struct twl6030_gpadc_platform_data β platform specific data πΈ
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 π
π SYNOPSIS π
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 π₯
π Members π
okay so let's go through the whole cast, one by one, no skips β¨
nchannelsβ the number of GPADC channels. it's aconst int, so it is what it is, periodt πiio_channelsβ the iio channels. yep, that's literally it, it's the iio channels bestie π¦ (it's aconst struct iio_chan_spec *, iykyk)idealβ pointer to the calibration parameters π this is where the "what should the numbers be" livesstart_conversionβ pointer to the ADC start conversion function. you give it anint channeland it kicks off a conversion, slay βchannel_to_regβ pointer to the ADC function that converts a channel into a register address, so you can read the conversion result. returns au8, very demure, very mindful πcalibrateβ pointer to the calibration function. it takes astruct twl6030_gpadc_data *gpadcβ the actual gpadc data β and does the calibrating thing π
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 π

and that's the page!! π§ 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 ππ
