  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. yes queen, hand over the hardware struct, that's the whole input, no cap 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 this function Calculates the EEPROM section checksum by reading and adding each word of the EEPROM — word by word, one at a time, no skipping, main character energy — and then it verifies that the sum of the EEPROM is equal to 0xBABA 🔥

that's it. that's the ritual. read words, add them up, and if the total is 0xBABA, slay 😌 if it isn't… well 💀
