ixgbe_mii_b..._generic_c22(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

ixgbe_mii_bus_write_generic_c22 — bestie, this one writes a clause 22 register, and it does it with gssr flags 🎀 (yes the whole page is basically about this one little write, and honestly? iconic.)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_mii_bus_write_generic_c22 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , int addr ,
       int regnum , u16 val , u32 gssr );

Like… five whole arguments. She's high-maintenance but she delivers 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. the main character of the whole operation tbh 👑
  • addr — address. literally just the address, no drama 🌸
  • regnum — register number. which register we're sliding into ✨
  • val — value to write. the actual payload, the moment we've all been waiting for 💖
  • gssr — semaphore flags to acquire. gotta lock it down before you touch anything, no cap 🔒
