ice_ptp_prep..._incval_e82x(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, page ice_ptp_prep..._incval_e82x(9) — yes the title is literally abbreviated with dots in the middle, that's just how the header rolls, don't @ me.

ice_ptp_prep_phy_incval_e82x — getting all the PHY ports ready for a time adjustment, no cap 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_ptp_prep_phy_incval_e82x (struct ice_hw *hw , u64 incval );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one function, two args, she's iconic 🌸

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • hw — pointer to HW struct. literally just a pointer to the hardware struct, she's your VIP pass to the silicon 💅
  • incval — new increment value to prepare. that's the fresh increment value you're staging up 🦋

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea ☕ — this function prepares each of the PHY ports for a new increment value by programming the port's TIMETUS registers. every port. all of them. no skipping 🫶

ngl the important part: the new increment value is not live immediately. it gets updated after you issue an ICE_PTP_INIT_INCVAL command. so think of this as setting the stage — the glow-up lands when the command drops ✨ periodt.
