💅 ice_ptp_prep_phy_incval_e810(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil kernel-function page and it is, lowkey, very niche and very iconic of it. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ice_ptp_prep_phy_incval_e810 — literally just "Prep PHY port increment value change" 💫 that's the whole job. that's the assignment. she's a preparer, not a finisher, and we respect that 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_ptp_prep_phy_incval_e810 (struct ice_hw *hw , u64 incval );

yes the spacing is exactly like that, do not @ me, that's how it's written 💀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to HW struct 🧚 your hardware-facts-in-a-struct situation.
  • incval — The new 40bit increment value to prepare ⭐ forty. bits. not thirty-two, not sixty-four, forty ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the whole vibe here is: you're getting the PHY port ready for a brand new increment value. Not doing it — prepping for it. main character energy is doing the setup and letting someone else take the bow 💅

The prepping happens by programming the PHY ETH_GLTSYN_SHADJ_L and ETH_GLTSYN_SHADJ_H registers 🎀 those two, in that order, them's the ones.

lowkey important bestie: this function does not finish the job. the actual change is completed by issuing an ICE_PTP_INIT_INCVAL command 👑 so if you're sitting there wondering why nothing happened yet… yeah. you gotta issue the command. the prep alone is giving "set the table but nobody's eating" 😭

the source lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp_hw.c — go say hi 🍓

and now, the friend group. it's a big friend group. i'm listing literally every single one because i'm not about to leave a bestie out 🙈

and that's the whole squad, no cap 🔥 if you made it to the end of that list you get a little star ⭐

🎀 cute lil sign-off: this page comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and it's filed under ice_ptp_prep..._incval_e810(9) — yes, the header abbreviates her name with ... and honestly? mysterious. enigmatic. she ate 💅✨
