💖 igb_get_phy_id_82575(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the igb_get_phy_id_82575 page 💅 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about the Intel igb driver's 82575-era PHY detective work. it's short, it's sweet, and honestly it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" energy 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

igb_get_phy_id_82575 — Retrieve PHY addr and id 🕵️‍♀️

literally just goes and gets the PHY address and the PHY id. that's the whole vibe check. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 igb_get_phy_id_82575 (struct e1000_hw *hw );

returns a s32, takes one pointer, slays that's it 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶 this is the hardware struct bestie, it's where all the good stuff lives.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the teaaa ☕ — igb_get_phy_id_82575 retrieves the PHY address and the PHY ID, and the icon behavior is that it does this for both PHYs: the ones that do use the sgmi interface and the ones that don't. both flavors. equal treatment. periodt 👑

so yeah, whichever kind of PHY you've got going on over there, this function has it covered 🌈
