igc_get_phy_id(9)

✨ igc_get_phy_id ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for igc_get_phy_id — yes that's the whole title, we're getting straight into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

igc_get_phy_id — retrieve the PHY ID and revision 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 igc_get_phy_id (struct igc_hw *hw );

that's it. that's the whole call. slay.

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 👑 like, this is the hardware struct you're handing over, bestie, and it's the only thing you need to pass in.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? it reads the PHY registers and stores the PHY ID — and possibly the PHY revision too — right into the hardware structure. fr fr that's the whole vibe: read the regs, stash the ID, maybe stash the revision, done. 🫶

no cap, it's giving "little function, big responsibility." ✨
