ENUM PDS_CORE_FW_CONTROL_OPER(9)

✨ enum pds_core_fw_control_oper(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this one's a little enum that's basically the group chat of firmware control operations. every firmware thing your NIC wants to do? it slides in here first. no cap. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum pds_core_fw_control_oper — FW control operations 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum pds_core_fw_control_oper {
    PDS_CORE_FW_INSTALL_ASYNC ,
    PDS_CORE_FW_INSTALL_STATUS ,
    PDS_CORE_FW_ACTIVATE_ASYNC ,
    PDS_CORE_FW_ACTIVATE_STATUS ,
    PDS_CORE_FW_UPDATE_CLEANUP ,
    PDS_CORE_FW_GET_BOOT ,
    PDS_CORE_FW_SET_BOOT ,
    PDS_CORE_FW_GET_LIST

};

💜 Constants 💜

these are the members, and honestly? each one is serving a whole different vibe. let's go 🫶

• PDS_CORE_FW_INSTALL_ASYNC — installs the firmware, but like… asynchronously. it does not wait around for you, it's got main character energy 🔥
• PDS_CORE_FW_INSTALL_STATUS — the "so how'd it go?" check-in for a firmware installation ✨
• PDS_CORE_FW_ACTIVATE_ASYNC — activates the firmware asynchronously. same deal, no waiting, very demure of it 💅
• PDS_CORE_FW_ACTIVATE_STATUS — the status report for that firmware activation 🎀
• PDS_CORE_FW_UPDATE_CLEANUP — cleans up whatever mess the firmware update left behind 🧚 (we love a tidy icon)
• PDS_CORE_FW_GET_BOOT — hands you back the current active firmware slot 👑
• PDS_CORE_FW_SET_BOOT — picks which firmware slot is gonna be active for the next boot. choose wisely bestie 🙈
• PDS_CORE_FW_GET_LIST — returns the whole list of installed firmware images, like a lil firmware roster ⭐

lowkey a whole reading list, but that's the entire roster — nothing skipped, iykyk 💀
