ixgbe_write...sb_reg_x550a(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME

ixgbe_write_iosf_sb_reg_x550a — bestie, it writes to an IOSF PHY register. That's the whole vibe ✨ (and yes, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, so we're being fancy and official today 👑)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ixgbe_write_iosf_sb_reg_x550a (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 reg_addr ,
u32 device_type , u32 data );

That's the whole signature, no cap. Four things go in, an int comes out 💖

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. It's giving "main character", honestly — everything else is just visiting 🫶
  • reg_addr — the 32 bit PHY register you're writing to. Yeah, 32 bit, don't come at me with less 🎯
  • device_type — a 3 bit device type. Three bits! Tiny icon, huge responsibility 🧚
  • data — the actual data getting written to the register. The payload, the moment, the reason we're all here 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

First up, the source itself lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_x550.c — go say hi to it, it's literally the home of all this 🏡

And then, the extended universe, because this function runs with a lot of people (sixty of them, I counted, no cap 👑):

Like I said. Sixty. A whole friend group 🫶🦋

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 This cutie came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and honestly? Slay. Go write some registers, bestie ✨🎀💜
