ksz88x3_driv...rength_write(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to ksz88x3_driv...rength_write(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨. This function is ksz88x3_drive_strength_write — and its whole job is to set the drive strength configuration for KSZ8863 compatible chip variants. Periodt 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ksz88x3_drive_strength_write (struct ksz_device *dev , struct
       ksz_driver_strength_prop *props , int num_props );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — ksz device. The main character struct, iykyk 👑.
• props — Array of drive strength properties to be set. Yes bestie, the whole array 🫶.
• num_props — Number of properties in the array. Gotta know how many little settings we're serving 💅.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this function applies the specified drive strength settings to KSZ88X3 chip variants (KSZ8873, KSZ8863) 🌸. It makes sure the configurations align with what the chip variant supports, and it warns or errors out on unsupported settings. No cap: unsupported vibes do not get a free pass 💀.

🌸 RETURN 🌸

0 on success, error code otherwise. Slay when it's zero; otherwise it's giving error code and you gotta deal with it 😭.
