LAN8814_PAGE_AFE_PMA(9)

💅 LAN8814_PAGE_AFE_PMA(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page you've been waiting for 🎀

okay bestie, so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely a little one but it matters, so pay attention ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

LAN8814_PAGE_AFE_PMA — the thing that selects Extended Page 1. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic brevity honestly 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

LAN8814_PAGE_AFE_PMA

no arguments, no drama, no parameters to remember. she just is 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this page (Extended Page 1, remember) appears to control the Analog Front-End (AFE) and Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) layers — yes those are two whole layers of the PHY, and yes this one page is out here handling both like it's nothing 🫶

what's it for? it's how you get at registers like LAN8814_PD_CONTROLS and LAN8814_LINK_QUALITY. that's the doorway, bestie 🚪✨ you want to talk to those registers, you go through this page first. no cap.

ngl the manpage literally says "appears to control" — that's the kernel's own wording, so I'm not out here making claims beyond what's written. take it up with micrel.c 🙈
