e1000_cleanup_led_ich8lan(9)

💖 e1000_cleanup_led_ich8lan 💖

okay bestie, so this one's from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual manpage, section 9, and it's a tiny little function but it's got main character energy anyway 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_cleanup_led_ich8lan — the "ok we're done here, put the lights back" function. It restores the default LED operation, periodt 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 e1000_cleanup_led_ich8lan (struct e1000_hw *hw );

so clean, so iconic, the way that signature just sits there 🌈

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's literally just a pointer to the hardware struct and she carries everything 💜

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Return the LED back to the default configuration.

like — you borrowed the LED behaviour for something fancy, and now you're handing it back, untouched, in its original packaging 🫶 default configuration restored, no cap.
