ice_tspll_dis_sticky_bits(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_tspll_dis_sticky_bits — bestie, we're un-sticking the TSPLL bits ✨

Okay so real talk: this page is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (that's the kernel internals girlies 🎀), and it's all about one tiny function that keeps your clock generation unit honest. Let's get into it 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_tspll_dis_sticky_bits(struct ice_hw *hw);

That's it. That's the whole vibe check. Returns an int, takes one pointer, slays 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct 🫶 literally just hand it your hardware struct and it knows what to do.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the way this works: it configures the Clock Generation Unit TSPLL sticky bits so they don't latch when they lose TSPLL lock — instead they always show the current state ✨

Like, no cap, sticky bits that stick around after a lock loss are giving "holding a grudge" energy 😭 and this function is the friend who's like "bestie, let it go, show me what's happening right now." Periodt 💀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 0 — success, we ate 👑
  • -ERANGE — unsupported MAC type 🙈 (sorry babe, your MAC isn't on the list)

🍓 Quick reminder babe: that whole list is exactly the cross-references — don't come for me if your fave isn't there, I don't make the rules 💅

Okay that's the page!! Live from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, section 9 of the Kernel API Manual — mwah, go disable some sticky bits bestie 💜🦋✨
