e1000e_poll_eerd_eewr_done(9)

💅 e1000e_poll_eerd_eewr_done(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual era 🫶

okay so bestie, welcome to e1000e_poll_eerd_eewr_done — yes that's the whole name, no we're not abbreviating it, it's iconic and we respect it 😌 This is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally all about sitting there refreshing the EEPROM status bit until it tells you it's done. main character energy tbh ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000e_poll_eerd_eewr_done — polls for EEPROM read/write completion 💖 like a little vibe check on your EEPROM, fr fr.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 e1000e_poll_eerd_eewr_done (struct e1000_hw *hw , int ee_reg );

that's it. that's the whole call. copy it exactly, don't get creative with it 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶 you know her, you love her, she's the hardware context.
• ee_reg — the EEPROM flag for polling 👑 this is the little switch that tells the function whether you're waiting on a read or a write.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So the way that this works 😭 — it polls the EEPROM status bit for either read or write completion, and which one it's checking depends on the value of ee_reg. That's it. That's the whole job. She polls, she checks, she waits for the status bit to say "done bestie" 🎀

ngl the entire function hinges on that ee_reg value, so pls actually pass the right one 🙈✨
