igb_standby_nvm — the function that tucks the EEPROM back into its standby state 🛌💤

that's it. that's the whole signature. no return value, no drama, just void energy. 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. that's the whole thing. that's your one (1) job. hand it the hardware struct and let it cook. 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Return the EEPROM to a standby state.

literally that's the whole vibe. it returns the EEPROM to a standby state. main character energy: lowkey just goes back to sleep. no cap, that's it, that's the function. 💅✨

ngl bestie, there are no options, no environment variables, no exit statuses, no signals and no bug notes on this page — it is genuinely that chill. don't go looking for lore that isn't there. 🙈
