yes, that's the whole signature, and yes, you're gonna copy it exactly, trailing space and all, because we do not mess with code around here 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• nvram — address of the nvram data. like, where the nvram data actually lives. that's the whole thing it needs from you, no notes 💅

lowkey a reminder that this page came from the Kernel API Manual and it's dated October 2026 — the source is ./arch/mips/include/asm/mach-b... (that's the footer being cute and truncated, not me being lazy 🙈) and the page name is bcm63xx_nvram_init(9) all over again, periodt. 💀

that's the whole page bestie, go forth and init your nvram 💖✨🎀🦋🌸
