ixgbe_poll_eerd_eewr_done(9)

💅 ixgbe_poll_eerd_eewr_done — the vibe check for your EEPROM 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's about ixgbe_poll_eerd_eewr_done, and ngl the name is giving "my parents named me after a register" but it's actually iconic 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_poll_eerd_eewr_done — literally just polls the EERD read or EEWR write status 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_poll_eerd_eewr_done (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 ee_reg );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. yeah. that's the hardware. the actual hardware. main character energy 💅
• ee_reg — EEPROM flag for polling. it tells the function which register we're stalking 👀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what it does: it polls the status bit (bit 1) of the EERD or EEWR, and that's how it figures out when the read — or the write, respectively — is done 🫶

that's it. that's the whole function. short, sweet, ate and left no crumbs ✨
