ice_get_orom_civd_data(9)

💅 ice_get_orom_civd_data — the kernel API manual, but make it cute 🎀

okay so bestie, you're looking at ice_get_orom_civd_data, a kernel API page straight out of the ice driver's little corner of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice. it's giving "niche but iconic" and honestly? we love her for it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ice_get_orom_civd_data — Get the combo version information from Option ROM 💖

like literally, it goes digging through Option ROM to fetch the combo version info. that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_get_orom_civd_data (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_bank_select
bank , struct ice_orom_civd_info *civd );

she takes three things and returns an int, periodt. 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW struct. your hardware, your main character. 🫶
• bank — whether to read from the active or inactive flash module. pick a lane bestie, active or inactive ✨
• civd — storage for the Option ROM CIVD data. this is where the good stuff gets stashed. 🍓

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she actually do? she searches through the Option ROM flash contents to locate the CIVD data for the image. that's it, that's the whole quest. lowkey detective energy. 🔍💅
