💅 igb_lower_eec_clk(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for igb_lower_eec_clk(9). yes it's a whole mouthful, no i will not be pronouncing it out loud. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

igb_lower_eec_clk — Lower EEPROM clock

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she lowers the clock. iconic behavior honestly 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void igb_lower_eec_clk (struct e1000_hw *hw , u32 *eecd );

return type void — she gives nothing back and honestly? respect 💅

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. the hardware baddie herself 🫶
• eecd — pointer to the EEPROM. your girl. your main character ✨

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Clear/Lower the EEPROM clock bit. that's it, that's the whole job — she takes that clock bit and brings it down, lowkey the simplest queen in the whole file 🧚

note how igb_raise_eec_clk(9) is literally right there being her opposite — one raises, one lowers, it's giving duality, it's giving balance, it's giving the way that they complete each other 😭

ngl bestie, if this page is all you needed, congrats, you ate and left no crumbs. now go lower that clock. or don't. i'm a manual page, not a cop 💀
