💖 ixgbe_set_fw_version_e610(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is a page about one very specific little function that has one very specific job, and yes she's giving "quiet luxury, knows exactly who she is" ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

ixgbe_set_fw_version_e610 — Set FW version specifically on E610 adapters 💅

like, specifically. on E610. nobody else. she's not like other setters 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ixgbe_set_fw_version_e610 (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter );

that's it. one function, one pointer, zero drama (mostly) 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adapter — the adapter private structure 💖 that's the whole argument list, bestie. one (1) thing. very demure, very mindful 🧚

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function is used by probe and by ethtool to figure out the FW version to format to display. iykyk 👀

the FW version is taken from the EEPROM/NVM. that's where she reads it from. no cap, that's the whole vibe 💾✨

so when someone runs ethtool and wants to see the firmware version, or when the driver is probing and needs that info, this little function on E610 adapters is the one doing the reading-and-formatting-and-displaying thing 🔥
