💅 igb_read_nvm_spi(9) 💅

okay bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally all about one lil EEPROM-reading function. pull up a chair, we're getting into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

igb_read_nvm_spi — Read EEPROM's using SPI

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 igb_read_nvm_spi (struct e1000_hw *hw , u16 offset , u16 words , u16
       *data );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW structure
• offset — offset of word in the EEPROM to read
• words — number of words to read
• data — word read from the EEPROM
