💖 NAME 💖

ath5k_hw_proc_5212_rx_status — bestie, this is the one that processes the rx status descriptor on 5212 🎀

(also hi, you're reading the Kernel API Manual, welcome to the group chat ✨)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ath5k_hw_proc_5212_rx_status (struct ath5k_hw *ah , struct
       ath5k_desc *desc , struct ath5k_rx_status *rs );

okay so it takes three whole structs and gives you back an int, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ah — the struct ath5k_hw, like, the hardware itself, main character energy fr 🫶
• desc — the struct ath5k_desc, the descriptor we're lowkey inspecting 👀
• rs — the struct ath5k_rx_status, where the rx status situation gets reported back 💌

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: this is an internal function — not for you to call from the outside, iykyk — and its whole job is processing an RX status descriptor on AR5212 and later MAC. that's it, that's the task, and she ate 🔥

it returns 0 on success. but if we haven't received the whole frame yet? it hits you with -EINPROGRESS 😭 like not me checking the mailbox before the package even shipped 💀

ngl the return value is literally the entire personality here: 0 for slay, -EINPROGRESS for "girl, it's still cooking" 🍓
