ENUM IONIC_FW_CONTROL_OPER(9)

✨ enum ionic_fw_control_oper(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving "firmware glow-up era" 💅 bestie, it's literally the enum that lists every firmware-control operation the ionic driver can send. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

🦋 NAME 🦋

enum ionic_fw_control_oper — FW control operations

Like, the official name of the game: FW control operations. That's it, that's the icon.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum ionic_fw_control_oper {
    IONIC_FW_RESET ,
    IONIC_FW_INSTALL ,
    IONIC_FW_ACTIVATE ,
    IONIC_FW_INSTALL_ASYNC ,
    IONIC_FW_INSTALL_STATUS ,
    IONIC_FW_ACTIVATE_ASYNC ,
    IONIC_FW_ACTIVATE_STATUS ,
    IONIC_FW_UPDATE_CLEANUP

};

Main character enum energy fr fr — eight members, zero chill, all business 🎀

---

💖 Constants 💖

okay these are the actual members, one by one, no skipping, i would never 🙈

• IONIC_FW_RESET — reset the firmware. like a factory-reset but make it dramatic 💀
• IONIC_FW_INSTALL — install firmware. the classic. the OG. 👑
• IONIC_FW_ACTIVATE — activate firmware. installing it isn't enough, bestie, you gotta commit ✨
• IONIC_FW_INSTALL_ASYNC — install firmware asynchronously. it goes off and does its thing, you don't wait around 🦋
• IONIC_FW_INSTALL_STATUS — firmware installation status. aka "so… how's the install going?" check-in 🫶
• IONIC_FW_ACTIVATE_ASYNC — activate firmware asynchronously. same deal, but for the activation step 🔥
• IONIC_FW_ACTIVATE_STATUS — firmware activate status. the activation's vibe check, returned to you 💅
• IONIC_FW_UPDATE_CLEANUP — clean up after an interrupted fw update. yes bestie, the "we got interrupted, tidy the mess" member, it's lowkey the most responsible one here 🧹

ngl the async ones are a whole two-step: you fire off the op, then you come back with the matching _STATUS one to find out what happened. the enum doesn't tell you more than that, so don't come for me 🙈

💀 real talk: that's the whole page. there's no exit statuses, no env vars, no bugs section, no author line — just the enum, its eight members, and the biggest SEE ALSO flex in the game. slay.

okay bye bestie, mwah 🫶 this came from source ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensand... and it's dated October 2026, page enum ionic_fw_control_oper(9) — see u in the next one 💖✨
