okay bestie, this one is from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s literally about reading one teeny little status bit. slay. ✨


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

igb_get_cfg_done_i210 β€” read the config done bit πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

s32 igb_get_cfg_done_i210 (struct e1000_hw *hw );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hw β€” pointer to the HW structure 🫢

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here’s the vibe: this reads the management control register for the config done bit, checking the completion status. πŸ‘‘

⚠️ NOTE: silicon which is EEPROM-less will fail trying to read the config done bit, so an error is ONLY logged and it returns 0.

Why return 0, you ask? Because if we were to return with an error, EEPROM-less silicon would not be able to be reset or change link. fr fr, it’s giving β€œlog it and keep it moving” energy πŸ’…
