💖 ice_ptp_gpio_enable(9) — bestie's guide to enabling/disabling the extra lil' PHC features 💖

okay so first things first: this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and the function we're obsessing over today is ice_ptp_gpio_enable ✨ (yes the (9) is part of the name, it's giving kernel-section realness, we don't question it).

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_ptp_gpio_enable — literally just Enable/disable ancillary features of PHC. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_ptp_gpio_enable (struct ptp_clock_info *info , struct
       ptp_clock_request *rq , int on );

look at her. three args, returns an int, no notes. main character energy fr 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • info — the driver's PTP info structure. it's the struct ptp_clock_info * bestie, the whole context, the moment. 👑
  • rq — the requested feature to change. yes it's a struct ptp_clock_request *, yes it's telling you what we're flipping on or off. 🦋
  • on — the enable/disable flag, as an int. is it on or is it not, that is the question. ⭐

🔥 RETURN 🔥

0 on success — slay, we ate, no cap.

a negative error code otherwise — not slay, but like, at least it's honest 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole friend group, no one left out, we love a complete roster 🫶

first up, the kernel file herself:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp.c

then the cast, in order, exactly as listed, do not come for me about the order:

ngl bestie, if you only remember one thing: info is the driver's PTP info struct, rq is the feature you're changing, on is the enable/disable flag, and you get 0 on success or a negative error code otherwise. periodt. 💜

and that's the page!! big kiss to the source ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and to the October 2026 date stamp — this one was born ✨ recent ✨ and we're obsessed. go forth and flip those ancillary PHC features, you gorgeous kernel gremlin 💅🎀🍓
