ath5k_hw_tw...val_settings(9) ✨

okay bestie, this one’s straight outta the Kernel API Manual and it’s giving “tiny function, very important little cleanup era” 💅🦋

💖 NAME 💖

ath5k_hw_tweak_initval_settings — Tweak initial settings

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void ath5k_hw_tweak_initval_settings (struct ath5k_hw *ah , struct
ieee80211_channel *channel );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ah — The struct ath5k_hw, no cap, that’s the one 💫
• channel — The struct ieee80211_channel, literally right there in the signature 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Some settings are just not handled on initvals, bestie — think bwmode settings, some phy settings, workarounds etc. They in general don’t fit anywhere else, or they’re too small to introduce a separate function for each one 😭

So we have this function to handle them all during reset and complete card’s initialization. It’s the “catch-all little settings gremlin” of the reset flow, and honestly? iconic ✨👑
