ksz8_ind_write8(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is ksz8_ind_write8(9) — literally the EEE/ACL/PME indirect register write. no cap. 🫶✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ksz8_ind_write8 (struct ksz_device *dev , u8 table , u16 addr , u8
       data );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev — the device structure. your device bestie, fr fr.
• table — function & table select, register 110. iconic.
• addr — indirect access control, register 111. slay.
• data — the data to be written. that's the data to be written, periodt. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the vibe check: this function does an indirect register write for EEE, ACL or PME switch functionalities. the way it moves is lowkey clean — both 8-bit registers 110 and 111 are written at once with ksz_write16, using the serial multiple write functionality. it's giving “two registers, one write” and honestly? obsessed. 💅✨

🎀 RETURN 🎀

0 on success, or an error code on failure. that's the whole return arc, bestie — minimal and iconic. 😌
