🌸 NAME 🌸

lstatus_to_fwcap — translate old lstatus to 32-bit Port Capabilities

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• lstatus — the old FW_PORT_ACTION_GET_PORT_INFO lstatus value. that's the input, bestie, and yes it's literally named that. don't come for me, I didn't name it. 💀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so the whole vibe of this function is: it takes the old FW_PORT_ACTION_GET_PORT_INFO lstatus field and translates it into the new 32-bit Port Capabilities value. that's the entire plot. no subplot, no twist, just a faithful little translation service. 🌈

think of it as a glow-up pipeline: old field goes in, new 32-bit Port Capabilities comes out, and everyone claps. ✨ genuinely obsessed with how straightforward this is. no cap. 🧚
