🌸 NAME 🌸

nfp_net_get_fw_version — read and parse the FW version 🎀

so like, it goes and grabs the firmware version and actually parses it into something useful. that's it, that's the job 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nfp_net_get_fw_version (struct nfp_net_fw_version *fw_ver , void
__iomem *ctrl_bar );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋
