💖 iwl_mvm_send_lq_cmd(9) 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for this lil function — manual name folded in near the top like a name tag, as requested 🫶.

✨ NAME ✨

iwl_mvm_send_lq_cmd — Send link quality command. That's the whole vibe: send the link quality command, bestie 💅.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int iwl_mvm_send_lq_cmd (struct iwl_mvm *mvm , struct iwl_lq_cmd *lq );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mvm — Driver data. Literally the driver's data, no cap.
• lq — Link quality command to send. This is the actual command being sent out 💌.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture it: the link quality command is sent as the last step of station creation. That's the timeline — it's giving final-step energy, fr fr.

This is the special case in which init is set, and we call a callback in this case to clear the state indicating that station creation is in progress. So yeah: init is set → callback gets called → that “station creation is in progress” state gets cleared. Iconic little cleanup moment ✨.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

an error code indicating success or failure. That's it — the return value is an error code, and it tells you success or failure. Read the return value, bestie 😭.
