💅 ice_get_pfa_module_tlv(9) — Kernel API Manual energy ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ice_get_pfa_module_tlv page, straight outta section 9 of the Kernel API Manual 🫶 this one's a lil function that goes digging in the NVM for you, and honestly? iconic behavior.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_get_pfa_module_tlv — reads sub module TLV from NVM PFA 💾✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ice_get_pfa_module_tlv (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 *module_tlv , u16
*module_tlv_len , u16 module_type );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap 🧚

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to hardware structure, the main character of this whole operation 💜
• module_tlv — pointer to module TLV to return, so it can hand you the good stuff back 🎁
• module_tlv_len — pointer to module TLV length to return, because you gotta know how big the vibe is 📏
• module_type — module type requested, aka what you're actually looking for 🔍

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea ☕ this function finds the requested sub module TLV type from the Preserved Field Area (PFA) and returns the TLV pointer and length. then the caller can use these to read the variable length TLV value 😌 slay, that's it, that's the whole job.

lowkey efficient, we love a function that knows its purpose 💅
