📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_ptp_disable_pins — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶

okay so like… this one's a tiny little function from the kernel API manual and honestly it's giving "quiet quitting but make it networking." her whole personality is: turn the PTP pins off. that's it. that's the function. iconic behavior, no notes. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

ice_ptp_disable_pins — Disable PTP pins 🎀

like literally what it says on the tin, bestie. the pins? disabled. the vibe? unbothered.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ice_ptp_disable_pins (struct ice_pf *pf );

no return value, she just does her thing and leaves. void queen. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pf — pointer to the PF structure 💖 (that's the PF, the whole main-character struct, handed over as a pointer so she can go do her little pin-disabling moment)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function disables the OS access to the pins. that's the entire job. no cap.

she gets called when we fail to setup pin array, and her whole purpose in life is to clear out the OS indications of pin support. so like, when the setup goes sideways and the pin array doesn't come together, she's the one who comes in and tidies up the OS-side story so it doesn't think pins are available when they're, y'know, not. cleanup era. 🧹✨

not me being obsessed with a function whose entire personality is "undo the hints." she ate. 💅
