π iwl_parse_eeprom_data(9)
okay so bestie, buckle up β this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel, like the big one π), and it's all about iwl_parse_eeprom_data. It's giving "niche Intel Wi-Fi lore" and honestly? obsessed. π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
iwl_parse_eeprom_data β literally parses the EEPROM data and hands you back the values π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct iwl_nvm_data * iwl_parse_eeprom_data (struct iwl_trans *trans ,
const struct iwl_rf_cfg *cfg , const u8 *eeprom , size_t eeprom_size );
no cap, that's the whole vibe. four args, one shiny pointer back. β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
transβ the transport we're parsing for. it's for debug only, so likeβ¦ it's there, it's cute, it's not doing the heavy lifting πcfgβ the device configuration, used for parsing and for overrides. main character energy fr freepromβ the EEPROM data itself, the actualu8bytes we're chewing through πeeprom_sizeβ how long the EEPROM data is.size_t. we respect the length in this house π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so what it does: this function parses all the EEPROM values we need, then returns a newly allocated struct containing all the relevant values for driver use. the way that it just builds you a whole struct ππ
β οΈ important, bestie: that struct must be freed later with iwl_free_nvm_data. do not forget. do not ghost it. it will not free itself. π
π₯ RETURN π₯
the parsed NVM data π β that's it, that's the return.
