ice_ptp_port_cmd_e830(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_ptp_port_cmd_e830(9), a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual that is lowkey all about getting the external PHYs ready for a timer command. 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

ice_ptp_port_cmd_e830 — Prepare all external PHYs for a timer command. That’s the name, that’s the vibe, no notes. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here’s the exact signature, bestie — do not freestyle it:

int ice_ptp_port_cmd_e830 (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_ptp_tmr_cmd cmd
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

two lil inputs, and they are iconic:

• hw — pointer to HW struct
• cmd — Command to be sent to the port

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Prepare the external PHYs connected to this device for a timer sync command. That’s literally the whole description — no extra lore, bestie. 🦋

💖 RETURN 💖

0 on success, negative error code when PHY write failed. So if you get a negative back, the PHY write did not slay — that’s the signal. 😭

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay bestie, this SEE ALSO section is massive and I am not skipping a single icon. The kernel file link is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp_hw.c, and then the whole function family is here, periodt:
