💅 bnx2x_func_reset_func(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to bnx2x_func_reset_func(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of a vibe — it's a little reset function that minds its own business. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2x_func_reset_func — reset HW at function stage 🎀

like, it resets hardware. at the function stage. that's the whole personality. iconic honestly.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void bnx2x_func_reset_func (struct bnx2x *bp , const struct
bnx2x_func_sp_drv_ops *drv );

yep, that's it — returns void, takes two pointers, no drama 💅 (and yes, the space before the commas is canon, do not come for me, I'm copying it exactly fr fr)

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bp — device handle. your main character. the device itself 🫶
• drv — okay so the manpage literally just says drv and then... nothing 😭 no description, no explanation, absolutely zero notes. I'm not making anything up for you, bestie — that entry is just vibes and a name. take it up with the docs 🙈

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ this function resets HW at the FW_MSG_CODE_DRV_UNLOAD_FUNCTION stage. and the way that works is very specific: it resets only FUNCTION-only HW blocks 👑

read that again. FUNCTION-only. it's not out here resetting the whole chip, it's not touching anything else, it is laser-focused on the function-only blocks and nothing else. main character energy with boundaries. we love to see it 💖
