💖 e1000_update_nvm_checksum_82571(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for e1000_update_nvm_checksum_82571 — yes that's a whole long name, we love a main character with a full government title 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_update_nvm_checksum_82571 — Update EEPROM checksum 🎀

Like literally, it updates the checksum. That's the whole vibe.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 e1000_update_nvm_checksum_82571 (struct e1000_hw *hw );

ngl that signature is giving "one argument, zero drama" and honestly? iconic 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶 (yes queen, hand over that struct)

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea ☕ — this function updates the EEPROM checksum by reading/adding each word of the EEPROM up to the checksum. like it literally goes word by word, adding as it goes, no skipping, no shortcuts, fr fr 🧚

then it calculates the EEPROM checksum and writes the value to the EEPROM. that's it. that's the whole plot. short but slay 💅✨
