📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, this is mei_txe_pg_state(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and it’s giving “tiny function, very specific job” energy 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

mei_txe_pg_state — translate aliveness register value to the mei power gating state. literally that’s the whole gig: it takes the aliveness register value and tells you the mei power gating state. no cap 🫶

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • dev — the device structure. that’s the thing you pass in, bestie 💖

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • MEI_PG_OFF if aliveness is on
  • MEI_PG_ON otherwise
yes, it’s a little opposite-day coded, but that’s exactly what the page says: MEI_PG_OFF when aliveness is on, and MEI_PG_ON otherwise. no cap 😭🔥
