mpi3mr_add_p...xisting_port(9)

✨ mpi3mr_add_p...xisting_port(9) ✨

okay bestie so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and the function is literally called mpi3mr_add_phy_to_an_existing_port — yes it's a mouthful, no we're not renaming it, the kernel said what it said 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

mpi3mr_add_phy_to_an_existing_port — add phy to existing port

like. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mpi3mr_add_phy_to_an_existing_port (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc ,
struct mpi3mr_sas_node *mr_sas_node , struct mpi3mr_sas_phy *mr_sas_phy
, u64 sas_address , struct mpi3mr_hba_port *hba_port );

no return value, no drama, just vibes and pointers ✨

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

this is the part where you meet the whole friend group 🫶 every single one matters, no cap:

• mrioc — the adapter instance reference. the main character, honestly. everything routes through her 💜
• mr_sas_node — the internal sas node object (expander or host). iykyk 🌈
• mr_sas_phy — the internal Phy object *, bestie. yes the asterisk is in the original, we don't question the asterisk 🙈
• sas_address — the SAS address of the device/expander where the phy needs to be added to. lowkey the important one 🎯
• hba_port — the HBA port entry. let her in, she's on the list 💅

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

None. — that's it. she gives you nothing back and honestly? iconic behaviour. no return value, no notes, periodt. 🔥
