💅 ixgbe_x550em_a_mii_bus_write_c22 — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up edition of the ixgbe_x550em_a_mii_bus_write_c22(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 🎀 this is the one that slides a clause 22 register value onto x550em_a — and yes, she's literally in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_phy.c 🦋

🌸 NAME

ixgbe_x550em_a_mii_bus_write_c22 — Write a clause 22 register on x550em_a 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS

int ixgbe_x550em_a_mii_bus_write_c22 (struct mii_bus *bus , int addr ,
int regnum , u16 val );

that's the whole vibe check right there, no cap 🔥

🫶 ARGUMENTS

🧚 SEE ALSO

this is the part where the manpage dumps the entire friend group on you 😭 like literally the whole squad, iykyk. every single one, in order, iconically:

and the file ref itself, so you can go read the source like the little researcher you are 🧚 :

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_phy.c
ngl bestie, read these before you go poking at PHY registers — the whole c22 / c45 / i2c cluster is a lot, and these pages are the lore you actually need 💀

🎀 sign-off

source path was ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes it's truncated, that's just how the footer rolls 🙈), dated October 2026, and it signs itself ixgbe_x550em...us_write_c22(9) because even manpage footers can't fit the whole name 💅 periodt, go write that register bestie 🌈⭐
