int oa_tc6_read_register (struct oa_tc6 *tc6 , u32 address , u32 *value );

three args, one int coming back at you. no cap. ✨

  • address — the register address of the MAC-PHY that's about to get read. like, which register are we reading, bestie 👀
  • value — the value that gets read out of that register at address on the MAC-PHY. this is where the tea gets stored 🍓

ok real talk: read it, write it, init it, exit it — they all live in ./drivers/net/ethernet/oa_tc6.c and they all reference each other. go say hi 🌈

and that's the page, bestie! 🌸 source/version lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet, dated October 2026, and the header/footer both say oa_tc6_read_register(9) — she said her own name twice because she's iconic like that 👑 ✨ 🎀
