🌸 NAME 🌸

emac_update_hw_stats — read the EMAC stat registers 📖✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void emac_update_hw_stats (struct emac_adapter *adpt );

like, that's the whole signature. void, takes one pointer, returns nothing, iconic behaviour tbh 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adpt — pointer to adapter struct 🫶 that's it, that's the whole argument list, and she's carrying all the weight

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So what does she do? She reads the stats registers and writes the values to adpt->stats. boom. data collected. slay 📊💖

⚠️ okay this is the important part, don't skip it: adpt->stats.lock must be held while calling this function, and while reading from adpt->stats. both. no exceptions. no cap. 🔒😤
