---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int i40e_lan_add_device (struct i40e_pf *pf );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pf — pointer to the board struct 💅 that's the whole vibe, she just wants a pointer to the board struct and nothing else

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does she do?? she does her thing and then tells you how it went: returns 0 on success, or none 0 on error 😭 that's it, that's the whole description, no cap
