✨ bnx2i_get_cid_num ✨

okay so bestie, we're in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual today, and the star of the show is bnx2i_get_cid_num — yes it's giving very niche-kernel-internals-core, and yes we're gonna understand it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2i_get_cid_num — get the cid from the ep, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u32 bnx2i_get_cid_num (struct bnx2i_endpoint *ep );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ep — endpoint pointer ✨ literally just a pointer to a struct bnx2i_endpoint, that's the whole vibe

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: this is only applicable to the 57710 family of devices. like, that's it, that's the whole description. it's not for every device out there, it's for the 57710 family and the 57710 family only, periodt 💀
