🦋 e1000_sw_lcd_config_ich8lan(9) 🦋

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this page is all about one little function, and honestly she's a workaround girlie and we respect her for it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_sw_lcd_config_ich8lan — SW-based LCD Configuration 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, literally the entire signature, no notes:

s32 e1000_sw_lcd_config_ich8lan (struct e1000_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶 that's it, that's the whole argument list, she only needs one (1) thing

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the tea is: SW should configure the LCD from the NVM extended configuration region — and it does this as a workaround for certain parts. that's the whole bit, no cap. software pulls the LCD config out of the NVM's extended configuration region because some parts just need the assist, and honestly? iconic of them 🙈

bestie pls note: this is described as a workaround, so it exists for those specific parts — not just for funsies 💀

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

first up, the actual source vibes — the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/ich8lan.c 🗂️ and then there's the whole friend group, like a group chat that never sleeps:
