emac_set_type0addr(9)

💅 emac_set_type0addr(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is emac_set_type0addr 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

emac_set_type0addr — sets the EMAC Type0 MAC address. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void emac_set_type0addr (struct emac_priv *priv , u32 ch , char
*mac_addr );

no cap, that's the whole signature. void return, three args, iconic 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• priv — the DaVinci EMAC private adapter structure. the main character struct, honestly 👑
• ch — RX channel number. which channel, bestie? this one 🔥
• mac_addr — the MAC address to set in the device. literally the whole point ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this one is called internally to set the Type0 MAC address of the adapter (the Device). it's giving "backstage pass only," not a public-facing superstar 🙈

and the returns? success (0) or the appropriate error code — and as of now there isn't any error code, so it's lowkey just vibing at 0 😭
