ice_init_phy...flt_override(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ice_init_phy_cfg_dflt_override — and yes, the manual name is ice_init_phy...flt_override(9), we're folding that in right here so nobody has to squint at a header line. The whole vibe: Initialize PHY cfg default override settings 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_init_phy_cfg_dflt_override (struct ice_port_info *pi );

That's the whole signature, periodt.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pi — port info structure. That's the one arg, bestie 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: if default override is enabled, this function initializes the user PHY cfg speed and FEC settings using the default override mask from the NVM. Cute, iconic, very much doing its job.

The PHY should only be configured with the default override settings the first time media is available. Like, debut energy only — not a recurring thing. The ICE_LINK_DEFAULT_OVERRIDE_PENDING state is used to indicate that the user PHY cfg default override is initialized and the PHY has not been configured with the default override settings. The state is set here, and cleared in ice_phy_cfg the first time the PHY is configured. Set here, clear there, the handoff is literally flawless ✨

Heads up, bestie: this function should be called only if the FW doesn't support default configuration mode, as reported by ice_fw_supports_report_dflt_cfg. That's the condition, no cap 🫶
