STRUCT TYPEC_CONNECTOR(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is struct typec_connector(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the Representation of Type-C port for external drivers 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct typec_connector {
    void (*attach)(struct typec_connector *con, struct device *dev);
    void (*deattach)(struct typec_connector *con, struct device *dev);
};

🎀 Members 🎀

• attach — notification about device removal 👀
• deattach — notification about device removal 👀

yes bestie, both of those say “notification about device removal” in the source — we are keeping it exactly as written, no edits, periodt 🫶

💖 Description 💖

Drivers that control the USB and other ports (DisplayPorts, etc.) that are connected to the Type-C connectors can use these callbacks to inform the Type-C connector class about connections and disconnections 🔌✨

That information can then be used by the typec-port drivers to power on or off parts that are needed or not needed — for example, in USB mode, if a USB2 device is enumerated, USB3 components (retimers, phys, and what have you) do not need to be powered on 🔥

The attached (enumerated) devices will be liked with the typec-partner device 🫶 (and yes, the page says liked — not me, I'm just preserving the source, iykyk 😭)

cute little sign-off bestie: source/version is ./include/linux/usb, date is October 2026, and the page is struct typec_connector(9) — mwah, slay and read your kernel docs 💋✨
