okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual entry for nv_update_linkspeed(9) — manual name folded in near the top like a responsible icon, no copied header line here. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nv_update_linkspeed — Setup the MAC according to the link partner.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nv_update_linkspeed (struct net_device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — network device to be configured. that's the main character getting configured, periodt 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so first, the function queries the PHY and checks if there's a link partner. if yes, then it sets up the MAC accordingly — slay. if not, the MAC is set to 10 MBit HD. lowkey the fallback, highkey necessary.

and the return value? here's the vibe check:

• returns 0 if there is no link partner.
• returns 1 if there is a good link partner.
