💅 genphy_c45_read_mdix: it reads the mdix status from PMA, bestie

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a little one, but she's got range. the function is genphy_c45_read_mdix — say it with me — and her whole entire job is reading the MDIX status out of PMA. that's it. that's the gig. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

genphy_c45_read_mdix — literally just "read mdix status from PMA" 🦋

so yeah, if you ever wondered "hiii, what's my MDIX status, and is it, like, in PMA?" — this is the girl you call. she'll go look and report back. iconic behavior honestly ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int genphy_c45_read_mdix (struct phy_device *phydev );

look at her. one argument. she's low-maintenance, she's not asking for much, she's just a function that returns an int and needs a pointer. we love a simple queen 👑

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • phydev — the target phy_device struct. that's it, that's the whole argument. she needs a phy_device pointer to know which phy to poke at, so hand her a valid one and she's happy 🫶

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this is the part where she tags all her friends and omg it's a lot of friends. she is connected, she knows everyone, she is the main character of ./drivers/net/phy/phy-c45.c — here's the full group chat in order, no one gets left out, periodt:

like, she truly said "I have a big family and I love them all" 😭💜

heads up bestie: this one lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/phy/phy-c45.c — that's where you'll find her irl 🧚

and that's the whole vibe! she's short, she's sweet, she reads MDIX status from PMA, and she returns an int about it. slay 💅

that's a wrap, babe 🎀 this little page is from the Kernel API Manual, hanging out under ./drivers/net/phy, dated October 2026, and she is still genphy_c45_read_mdix(9) — same name, same manual, forever iconic 👑💖✨
