💅 ice_read_ptp_reg_eth56g — a.k.a. the Kernel API Manual page for reading one (1) PHY port register ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of ice_read_ptp_reg_eth56g(9), live from the Kernel API Manual. it's giving "tiny function, huge friend group" energy, and honestly? we love her for it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ice_read_ptp_reg_eth56g — read a PHY port register. that's it. that's the whole job. she reads. she returns. she slays. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_read_ptp_reg_eth56g (struct ice_hw *hw , u8 port , u16 offset ,
u32 *val );

like, look at that signature. four params, zero drama. no cap. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. your main character struct, fr fr. she holds the hardware lore. 👑
  • port — port number to be read. yes, the actual port. pick one, bestie. 💖
  • offset — offset from PHY port register base. it's not an absolute address, it's the vibe relative to the base, iykyk. 🎀
  • val — pointer to the value to read. it's an out param — so you pass the pointer, she fills it in, and you get the goods. do NOT expect her to read your mind. 🙈

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 0 — success! everything ate, nothing left on the plate. ⭐
  • EINVAL — invalid port number or resource type. translation: you handed her something she cannot work with. the vibe check failed. 💀
  • other — failed to read from PHY. the PHY said no. it happens to the best of us. 😭

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

okay so this is the part where she tags her entire group chat. grab a snack, this is a long one. 🍓

like… that's the whole friend group right there. every single one, tagged, no one left out. 🌈

and that's the page, bestie!! this cutie lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and the whole thing was dated October 2026 — so she's a little time traveler, and honestly? iconic. 👑💖 go read your PHY port registers responsibly, mwah 💋✨
