ath5k_fill_..._pcdac_table(9)

💅 ath5k_fill_pwr_to_pcdac_table(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so this is a Kernel API Manual page, and it's about a tiny little function in the ath5k wireless driver that just... fills in a table. no cap, that's the whole gig. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ath5k_fill_pwr_to_pcdac_table — fills the Power to PCDAC table on RF5111 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ath5k_fill_pwr_to_pcdac_table (struct ath5k_hw *ah , s16* table_min
, s16 *table_max );

it returns void, so like... don't go looking for a return value, she doesn't have one ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ah — the struct ath5k_hw. that's your hardware buddy, the main character of this whole operation 👑
• table_min — minimum power (x min). lowercase x, uppercase min, exactly like that 🍓
• table_max — maximum power (x max). same deal, x max 🌸

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so bestie, here's the tea: for RF5111, no further processing is needed 💀 like, none. zero. she's done.

the only thing we have to do is fill the values below and above the calibration range — because the eeprom data may not cover the entire PCDAC table 😭 so we're basically patching in the edges so the table doesn't have holes in it. it's giving "finishing the puzzle with the pieces that fell under the couch" energy and honestly? iconic. 🧚

ngl this one's a short page — there are literally no extra options, no exit statuses, no environment variables. it's a one-job function and she does her one job. periodt. 💅
