💅 ixgbe_get_oem_prod_version 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're reading kernel docs together, this is our era now 🫶. Today's main character is ixgbe_get_oem_prod_version(9), and honestly? She's a little one but she's important.

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_get_oem_prod_version — Etrack ID from EEPROM 🎀

Like, it goes and grabs the Etrack ID out of the EEPROM. That's the whole vibe. iykyk.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ixgbe_get_oem_prod_version (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , struct
       ixgbe_nvm_version *nvm_ver );

Return type is void ngl, she doesn't hand anything back directly — she writes into the struct you give her 💅.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure ✨ like, the actual hardware struct, hand it over please.
  • nvm_ver — pointer to output structure 🎀 this is where the results land, bestie. It's the output one.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea ☕: if there's a valid OEM product version, then nvm_ver->oem_valid gets set to true. Otherwise? nvm_ver->oem_valid is false. That's it. That's the function. Short and iconic, periodt 👑.
