e1000_shift_in_ee_bits(9)

💅 e1000_shift_in_ee_bits(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, where today's main character is e1000_shift_in_ee_bits — literally the little function that shifts data bits in from the EEPROM. she's giving quiet-luxury, lowkey-essential, no-cap energy ✨

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_shift_in_ee_bits — Shift data bits in from the EEPROM 🧚

like. that's her whole job. she shifts bits in. from the EEPROM. and she eats every single time 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u16 e1000_shift_in_ee_bits (struct e1000_hw *hw , u16 count );

so you hand her a hardware struct and a count, and she gives you back a u16. that's the vibe. that's the whole transaction 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — the struct containing variables accessed by shared code. yes the whole shared-code squad lives in there, don't ask, just pass it 💜
• count — the number of bits to shift in. how many bits? count bits. iconic of her honestly ⭐

💖 ok bye bestie 💖

this page came from the source/version line ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e..., and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, she's stamped, sealed, and slaying in the Kernel API Manual till then and beyond. go shift some bits, ily, periodt 💅🎀✨
