💖 b43_phy_set(9) 💖

okay so you’re in the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and today’s main character is b43_phy_set(9). it’s giving “small function, very specific job” energy 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

b43_phy_set — OR a PHY register with a bitmap ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void b43_phy_set (struct b43_wldev *dev , u16 offset , u16 set );

so it returns void, meaning no return-value drama here, and it takes dev, offset, and set. periodt 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay so the ARGUMENTS section is literally three mystery boxes 😭 the original page does not describe them at all — every single one says -- undescribed --. I’m not gonna invent lore, so here they are exactly as the page gives them:

• struct b43_wldev *dev — -- undescribed -- 🙈
• u16 offset — -- undescribed -- 🙈
• u16 set — -- undescribed -- 🙈
