ice_phy_cfg_mac_eth56g(9)

💅 ice_phy_cfg_mac_eth56g(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ice_phy_cfg_mac_eth56g(9) — literally the little function that gets your MAC configured for PTP. she's small, she's specific, she slays 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_phy_cfg_mac_eth56g — Configure MAC for PTP 🕰️✨

like… that's the whole gig. she configures the MAC so PTP can do its timestamp thing. iconic behavior honestly.

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int ice_phy_cfg_mac_eth56g (struct ice_hw *hw , u8 port );

that's it. that's the whole signature. two args, one int return, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — Pointer to the struct ice_hw. your hardware struct, your main character. everything lives in here 💖
• port — the Port to configure (u8). the one being set up. give her a port and let her cook 🍓

---

🌸 RETURN 🌸

• 0 — success ✨ slay, we love a zero return, no notes
• other — failed to write to PHY 😭 not the vibe. something went sideways talking to the PHY and she's telling you about it.

like?? that's the entire PTP cinematic universe in one list 💀 go read them, you'll be obsessed 💜

ngl this page is just the signature, the two args, and the return codes — so don't go looking for hidden lore that isn't here, bestie. everything she does is in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp_hw.c if you wanna snoop 👀

and that's the whole page, bestie 🎀 mwah 💋

✨ sign-off szn ✨ this little masterpiece lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual — shipped with the source/version of the very same tree. periodt 🫶💅🌟
