igb_get_cable_length_82580(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for igb_get_cable_length_82580(9) — short version: Determine cable length for 82580 PHY. It’s giving “tiny function, very specific little job” energy 💅✨.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here’s the signature, exactly as it appears, no edits fr fr:

s32 igb_get_cable_length_82580 (struct e1000_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — this is a pointer to the HW structure. That’s the whole arg, bestie 🫶.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so what it does: it reads the diagnostic status register and verifies the result is valid before placing it in the phy_cable_length field. That’s the vibe: read, sanity-check, then store. Lowkey iconic ✨.
