💅 ice_read_nvm_module(9) — bestie's guide to the kernel API manual

okay so this is ice_read_nvm_module, straight out of the kernel API manual, and it's literally exactly what it sounds like: reading a lil word out of the active main NVM module. iconic behaviour, no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ice_read_nvm_module — reads from the active main NVM module. that's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_read_nvm_module (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_bank_select bank ,
u32 offset , u16 *data );

like, she takes four things and returns an int. slay. 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. the main character of this whole lil operation, fr fr. 👑
  • bank — tells you whether to read from the active or the inactive NVM module. pick your fighter. ⭐
  • offset — offset into the NVM module to read, in words. yes, words — not bytes, don't come for me. 🔥
  • data — storage for the returned word value. this is where the good stuff lands. 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way that this works is: it reads the specified word from the active NVM module. and bestie, that includes the CSS header at the start of the NVM module — yes, that part too, it's all in scope. 💜

ngl the whole thing is very much "gimme one word at this offset and I'll hand it back through data". simple, clean, obsessed. 🌈
