💖 eeprom_93cx6_multiread 💖

okay bestie so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's all about <pink>eeprom_93cx6_multiread</pink> — literally the "read a whole bunch of words from eeprom at once" girlie. she's a function, she's a vibe, and she's about to make your little EEPROM read multiple words and not even be dramatic about it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

eeprom_93cx6_multiread — Read multiple words from eeprom 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void eeprom_93cx6_multiread (struct eeprom_93cx6 *eeprom , const u8 word
, __le16 *data , const u16 words );

no cap, that's the whole signature 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • eeprom — pointer to the eeprom structure, like her little home base 🏠
  • word — the word index where we start reading from, i.e. where the whole thing kicks off ⭐
  • data — the target pointer where the info is gonna get stored, she's the destination bestie 📥
  • words — how many words we should read, the count, the headcount, the whole squad 💀

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So the way this works: this function reads all the requested words from the eeprom, and it does it by calling eeprom_93cx6_read multiple times — think of it like sending your girl to the counter over and over again, one word at a time 🌈

But here's the iconic plot twist, the part where she's not like the other functions: while eeprom_93cx6_read returns host ordered bytes, this method returns little endian words. and that's the whole personality difference, periodt 💅✨

ngl, if you forget that endianness switchup you're gonna have a bad time 😭 keep it in mind, iykyk.

okay so that's the whole page, and now for the cute sign-off: this one lives over in ./drivers/misc/eeprom (her little address 🏡), it's dated October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual — slay, ate, no crumbs left 💖🌟🍓
