mxl862xx_fw...ap_clear_bit(9)

💅 mxl862xx_fw...ap_clear_bit(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes, section 9, the deep lore section. this one's a tiny little function in the mxl862xx driver and honestly? she's short but she matters. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mxl862xx_fw_portmap_clear_bit — clears exactly one single port bit in a firmware portmap. that's it. one bit. she's focused, she's minimal, she's iconic 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mxl862xx_fw_portmap_clear_bit (__le16 *map , int port );

no return value, no drama, no error code. void. she just does the thing and leaves 😌

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• map — the firmware portmap array, fr fr. it's __le16 * and it's got MXL862XX_FW_PORTMAP_WORDS entries in it, so like… know how big your array is before you hand it over, bestie 🫶
• port — the port index. valid range is 0..MXL862XX_MAX_BRIDGE_PORTS-1. keep it in range, okay? that's the vibe check 🔥

like, mxl862xx_fw_portmap_set_bit(9) is literally her evil twin (affectionate) — one sets the bit, one clears the bit, balance restored 🌈

lowkey a reminder: this is clearing a bit in a __le16 array, so the endianness is little-endian and it's doing exactly what it says on the tin. no cap 💀
