🦋 NAME 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the marvell_config_aneg_fiber(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the manual entry for marvell_config_aneg_fiber, aka the function that handles restarting auto-negotiation or writing BMCR. no cap, that's the whole vibe 💅

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

int marvell_config_aneg_fiber (struct phy_device *phydev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phydev — the target phy_device struct. that's the thing you're pointing this function at 👑

here's the tea ☕: if auto-negotiation is enabled, we configure the advertising, and then we restart auto-negotiation. if it is not enabled, then we write the BMCR. simple as that, fr fr 💖
