igc_power_do..._copper_base(9)

💅 NAME 💅

igc_power_down_phy_copper_base — bestie, this one removes the link when the PHY goes into power down ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void igc_power_down_phy_copper_base (struct igc_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 💖 (yes, that's the whole arg, she's low-maintenance)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: the PHY is going into power down to save power, OR we're turning off the link during a driver unload, OR wake on lan is not enabled — literally any of those three scenarios — and in all of them, this function removes the link. That's the whole vibe. Link: gone. Periodt 💅
