💖 ixgbe_is_eee_link_speed_supported_e610 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one's a little cutie from the ixgbe family — a function that checks whether EEE can be enabled. yes it's a mouthful, no you don't have to say it out loud, but slay that you're here 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_is_eee_link_speed_supported_e610 — Check if EEE can be enabled 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ixgbe_is_eee_link_speed_supported_e610 (struct ixgbe_adapter
*adapter );

like literally that's the whole call, no cap ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — pointer to the adapter struct 🦋 (yes bestie, it's exactly what it sounds like: the pointer to the adapter struct, no plot twist)

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what this iconic little function does is check whether the current link configuration is capable of enabling the EEE feature 👑

And here's the thing — this is an E610 specific function. For other adapters that support EEE, there might be no such limitation, so don't go assuming this rule applies everywhere, iykyk 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• true — EEE can be enabled 💖
• false — otherwise 😭

like that's it, that's the vibe check 🌈
