💖 ixgbe_write_eewr_generic(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for the one and only ixgbe_write_eewr_generic — it's giving EEPROM-write realness and we're here for it. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_write_eewr_generic — Write EEPROM word using EEWR. That's the whole name and it's literally doing exactly what it says on the label. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_write_eewr_generic (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u16 offset , u16
       data );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. the hardware hookup, the main character of this function's story honestly 😌
  • offset — offset of word in the EEPROM to write. this is where in the EEPROM we're dropping the word, bestie 📍
  • data — word write to the EEPROM. the word itself, the payload, the moment 💫

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Write a 16 bit word to the EEPROM using the EEWR register. no cap, that's the entire mission — 16 bits, EEPROM, EEWR register, slay. ✨🔥
