💖 ks_check_endian(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

🌸 NAME

ks_check_endian — check whether endianness of the bus is correct ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS

int ks_check_endian (struct ks8851_net *ks );

🦋 ARGUMENTS

• ks — the chip information 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION

Okay so bestie, the KS8851-16MLL EESK pin is literally the little selector that lets you choose the endianness of the 16bit bus 💅. And the vibe check? To maintain optimum performance, the bus endianness should be set such that it matches the endianness of the CPU — no cap, that's the whole point 🔥.
