💖 ice_ptp_parse_sdp_entries(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the whole manual name is part of the vibe, we're citing it properly 🫶 — and today's main character is ice_ptp_parse_sdp_entries.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_ptp_parse_sdp_entries — update ice_ptp_pin_desc structure from NVM

Like, it literally reads the SDP connection section out of NVM and refreshes your pin descriptors with it. Slay. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_ptp_parse_sdp_entries (struct ice_pf *pf , __le16 *entries ,
       unsigned int num_entries , struct ice_ptp_pin_desc *pins );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pf — pointer to the PF structure. your whole personality for the duration of this call, honestly.
  • entries — SDP connection section from NVM. the raw tea straight from the source ✨
  • num_entries — number of valid entries in sdp_entries. like, how many of them are actually real and not just filler, iykyk.
  • pins — PTP pins array to update. this is the one getting a glow-up 🦋

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, negative error code otherwise. so if it's 0 we celebrate, and if it's negative... we do not. 😭
