ice_init_hw(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ice_init_hw(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨. This is the main hardware initialization routine — literally ice_init_hw: main hardware initialization routine. It’s giving “first day of school but for hardware” energy, periodt. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_init_hw (struct ice_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. That’s the one and only arg, bestie: a pointer to the hardware structure. 🎀
