STRUCT VERSATILE_PANEL_TYPE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’œ struct versatile_panel_type(9) πŸ’œ

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's literally the lookup struct for the panels that this driver supports 🫢 like it's the little matchmaking table that goes "oh you have this magic number?? say less, here's your panel" ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct versatile_panel_type β€” the lookup struct for the supported panels πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

struct versatile_panel_type {
    const char *name;
    u32 magic;
    struct drm_display_mode mode;
    u32 bus_flags;
    u32 width_mm;
    u32 height_mm;
    bool ib2;
 };

✨ Members ✨

  • name β€” the name of this panel πŸ’– like its government name, what you'd call it at roll call
  • magic β€” the magic value from the detection register πŸ”₯ this is the ✨vibe check✨ number the hardware hands you so the driver can tell which panel it's talking to
  • mode β€” the DRM display mode for this panel πŸ–₯️ the resolution/timings situation, no cap
  • bus_flags β€” the DRM bus flags for this panel, e.g. inverted clock πŸ’« little quirks the bus has, and yes inverted clock is one of them
  • width_mm β€” the panel width in mm πŸ“
  • height_mm β€” the panel height in mm πŸ“ (matching pairs, we love to see it)
  • ib2 β€” the panel may be connected on an IB2 daughterboard 🧚 so if you see this flag, that's the plug it can show up on

ngl bestie, this whole struct is giving "small but iconic" β€” seven members and not one of them is doing too much πŸ’€πŸŒ·

and that's the whole page, periodt πŸ’… it came from ./drivers/gpu/drm/panel and it's dated October 2026 β€” so yeah, timestamped, cited, and absolutely slaying 🌈⭐ bye bestie, go read the real thing at struct versatile_panel_type(9) again if you need me πŸŽ€πŸ’–
