✨ ixgbe_get_orom_srev(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ixgbe_get_orom_srev(9) — yes that's the whole title, yes it's a mouthful, no we're not renaming it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_get_orom_srev — read the security revision from the OROM CSS header 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_get_orom_srev (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , enum ixgbe_bank_select
bank , u32 *srev );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• hw — pointer to the HW struct. like, the hardware everything-lives-here struct 🫶
• bank — whether to read from the active or the inactive flash module. pick a lane, bestie ⭐
• srev — storage for the security revision. your little output bucket 🙈

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the vibe: this function reads the security revision out of the CSS header of the active OROM module bank. that's it, that's the whole job. it's giving "small function, very specific task" and honestly? iconic 🔥

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns the exit code of the operation — so check it, bestie, don't just ghost the return value 😭
