πŸ’… thc_spi_read_config(9) β€” Kernel API Manual 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the group chat for thc_spi_read_config ✨ This is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's giving "small function, big job" energy. Sit down, grab a strawberry πŸ“, and let's get into it.


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

thc_spi_read_config β€” the cutie that configures SPI bus read attributes πŸ’–

No cap, that's literally the whole job. It goes in, it sets up how your SPI bus reads stuff, and it leaves. Iconic behavior.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int thc_spi_read_config (struct thc_device *dev , u32 spi_freq_val , u32
io_mode , u32 opcode , u32 spi_rd_mps );

Bestie, look at that signature β€” five params, returns an int, so clean, so demure πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • dev β€” the pointer of the THC private device context πŸ’œ like, this is your main character. It's a pointer to the THC private device context, and everything else kind of hangs off it.
  • spi_freq_val β€” the SPI read frequecy value πŸ”₯ (and yes, we're keeping that spelling exactly as the kernel wrote it, no notes, we don't edit the source, periodt).
  • io_mode β€” the SPI read IO mode 🌈 the vibe check for how reads travel on the bus.
  • opcode β€” the read opcode ⭐ the actual instruction code for reads. Small but mighty, iykyk.
  • spi_rd_mps β€” the SPI read max packet size πŸ‘‘ literally how big a read packet is allowed to get.

πŸ’€ RETURN πŸ’€

  • 0 on success 🫢
  • other error codes on failed πŸ₯² (that's failed, keep it exactly like that, fr fr β€” no cleanup, no edits, we respect the original)
Heads up bestie: if it comes back non-zero, something's not slaying. The page just says "other error codes on failed," so that's all we've got to go on β€” don't let anyone tell you more than the manpage does.

The kernel file lives at ./drivers/hid/intel-thc-hid/intel-thc/intel-thc-dev.c πŸ“ that's where the source is, no cap.

And here's the whole friend group, alphabetically… no wait, in exactly the order the page lists them πŸ’…:

Go read them too, bestie πŸ“š they're all part of the same era of the kernel.

This little masterpiece comes from source path ./drivers/hid/intel-thc-hid/in… and is dated October 2026 🌸 and the page itself is thc_spi_read_config(9). That's the whole footer, we're not skipping it, we're celebrating it πŸŽ‰πŸ’œ

Alright, go configure some SPI read attributes. Slay πŸ’…βœ¨
