STRUCT VERSATILE_PANEL_TYPE(9)
π struct versatile_panel_type(9) π
okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's literally the lookup struct for the panels that this driver supports π«Ά like it's the little matchmaking table that goes "oh you have this magic number?? say less, here's your panel" β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct versatile_panel_type β the lookup struct for the supported panels π
π SYNOPSIS π
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;
};
β¨ Members β¨
nameβ the name of this panel π like its government name, what you'd call it at roll callmagicβ the magic value from the detection register π₯ this is the β¨vibe checkβ¨ number the hardware hands you so the driver can tell which panel it's talking tomodeβ the DRM display mode for this panel π₯οΈ the resolution/timings situation, no capbus_flagsβ the DRM bus flags for this panel, e.g. inverted clock π« little quirks the bus has, and yes inverted clock is one of themwidth_mmβ the panel width in mm πheight_mmβ the panel height in mm π (matching pairs, we love to see it)ib2β the panel may be connected on an IB2 daughterboard π§ 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 ππ·
and that's the whole page, periodt π
it came from ./drivers/gpu/drm/panel and it's dated October 2026 β so yeah, timestamped, cited, and absolutely slaying πβ bye bestie, go read the real thing at struct versatile_panel_type(9) again if you need me ππ
