✨ nfp_port_configure(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the nfp_port_configure page 💅 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the helper that sets the interface configured bit. tiny function, big main character energy 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfp_port_configure — a little helper that sets the interface configured bit for you 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int nfp_port_configure (struct net_device *netdev , bool configed );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• netdev — the net_device instance, aka the netdev we're doing this whole thing for 🌈
• configed — the desired state you want it in ✨

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the vibe: this is a helper that sets the ifup/ifdown state on the PHY — but only if there's actually a physical interface associated with the netdev 👀 no physical interface? then it just doesn't do the thing. iykyk 💀

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 — configuration successful (or nothing changed, which is also fine, we love a no-op 🫶)
• -ERRNO — configuration failed 😭
