e1000e_reload_nvm_generic(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000e_reload_nvm_generic — Reloads EEPROM 💖 and yes bestie, this is the e1000e_reload_nvm_generic(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. It’s giving “tiny function, very specific job,” and we love that for it ✨

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

void e1000e_reload_nvm_generic (struct e1000_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. That’s the one and only argument, periodt 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here’s the vibe: e1000e_reload_nvm_generic reloads the EEPROM by setting the "Reinitialize from EEPROM" bit in the extended control register. That’s it, that’s the whole gig — no cap, it’s literally just setting that bit so the EEPROM gets reloaded 🔥
