β¨ enum mlxreg_lc_state(9) β¨
okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about this one little enum called enum mlxreg_lc_state β yes, we're doing kernel docs today, and honestly? it's giving main character energy π

enum mlxreg_lc_state β line cards state π
like, the state of your line cards. that's the whole vibe. no cap.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦

};
look at her. three constants. absolutely iconic structure, no notes π
πΈ Constants πΈ
okay so here's the tea on each one:
MLXREG_LC_INITIALIZEDβ the line card is initialized β¨ like she's been set up, she's ready, she exists in the system now.MLXREG_LC_POWEREDβ the line card is powered π₯ she's got the juice. literally energized.MLXREG_LC_SYNCEDβ the line card is synchronized between hardware and firmware π«Ά both sides are matching, they're in their agreement era, hardware and firmware are not fighting.
these are the three states, bestie. in order. she goes from initialized β powered β synced and that's the journey ππ
