okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the Kernel API Manual — yes this is a kernel-doc moment, and no you may not skip it 🎀 the star of the show today is ice_eswitch_mode_set, and honestly? she's giving "one job, does it well." ✨

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • devlink — pointer to the devlink structure 💖 literally the main character of this whole call.
