πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… v4l2_subdev_get_fwnode_pad_1_to_1(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸŽ€ β€” this one's a tiny lil function with a very long name, and honestly? it's giving "one job, does it well" energy. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

v4l2_subdev_get_fwnode_pad_1_to_1 β€” get the pad number from a subdev fwnode endpoint, assuming a 1:1 port:pad mapping πŸ’«

like, port 0 β†’ pad 0, port 1 β†’ pad 1, no cap, that's the whole vibe πŸ™ˆ


⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int v4l2_subdev_get_fwnode_pad_1_to_1 (struct media_entity *entity ,
struct fwnode_endpoint *endpoint );

that's it. two pointers, one int coming back at ya πŸ”₯


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • entity β€” pointer to the subdev entity πŸ‘‘ this is the main character of the call
  • endpoint β€” pointer to a parsed fwnode endpoint 🌈 already parsed, thank u very much, none of that raw-string nonsense here

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so here's the tea β˜• β€” you can use this function as the .get_fwnode_pad operation for subdevices that map their port numbers and pad indexes 1:1. like, straight down the line, no funky math, no remapping, just vibes πŸ’…

if the endpoint is owned by the subdevice, the function returns the endpoint port number. that's it. that's the whole function πŸŽ€

Returns the endpoint port number on success ✨ or a negative error code on failure 😭 (check that return value bestie, fr fr).


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

okay this part is LONG β€” the kernel really said "here's the entire friend group" πŸ’€ but every single one of these is legit, i promise:

like i said. the whole friend group. πŸ’€βœ¨


ngl the name is a mouthful, but the logic is clean β€” 1:1, no drama, return the port number or a negative error code. periodt πŸ’…

and that's the page bestie!! πŸŽ€ this lil slice of kernel lore lives over in ./include/media, dated October 2026, and it's the v4l2_subdev...e_pad_1_to_1(9) page β€” mwah, iconic, no notes πŸ’–πŸ¦‹βœ¨
