lpfc_sli4_r...mware_update(9)

💖 lpfc_sli4_request_firmware_update(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for lpfc_sli4_request_firmware_update — the header is giving truncated-title realness as lpfc_sli4_r...mware_update(9), but the full name absolutely ate. iykyk 💅

✨ NAME ✨

• lpfc_sli4_request_firmware_update — Request linux generic firmware upgrade 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int lpfc_sli4_request_firmware_update (struct lpfc_hba *phba , uint8_t
       fw_upgrade );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — pointer to lpfc hba data structure. literally the hba pointer, bestie 💖
• fw_upgrade — which firmware to update. that's it, that's the assignment 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This routine is called to perform Linux generic firmware upgrade on a device that supports such feature. no extra lore, no secret side quest — it's the firmware-upgrade request path, periodt. 🔥
