okay so bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual and today's main character is mii_t1_adv_l_mod_linkmode_t — a tiny little kernel helper with a big name. don't let the length scare you, it's giving "long name, simple job" energy fr fr 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void mii_t1_adv_l_mod_linkmode_t (unsigned long *advertising , u32 lpa );

like, that's it. that's the whole signature. slay 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • advertising — this is the target, aka where the linkmode advertisement settings live. this is the thing getting ✨modified✨
  • lpa — the value of the BASE-T1 Autonegotiation Advertisement [15:0] Register. yes, bits [15:0], the whole sixteen of them, she's specific 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so picture this: it's a small helper function, right? and all it does is translate the bits from the BASE-T1 Autonegotiation Advertisement [15:0] Register into linkmode advertisement settings. that's the vibe check and it passes ✔️

and the important part bestie — the way that it does not touch the other bits in advertising. they aren't changed. not even a little. no cap, those bits stay exactly as you left them 🙈✨
