like literally it checks if the phy is hung. that's the whole vibe check. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool e1000_check_phy_82574 (struct e1000_hw *hw );

she takes one thing and returns a bool, periodt 💅 keep the spacing exactly like that, don't @ me, that's just how it's written ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 🖥️ so basically the handoff to all the hardware state, super main character energy ngl

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns whether phy is hung or not 🔥

that's it, that's the whole function. bool comes back, you get your answer, you move on with your life 😌 honestly obsessed with how simple it is. the drama is all in the caller, not in here 💜
