void octep_vf_device_setup_cnxk (struct octep_vf_device *oct );

no cap, that's the whole signature. void in, void out, one argument, zero drama. 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• oct — the Octeon device private data structure. that's your little bundle of hardware secrets, iykyk. it's a struct octep_vf_device *, so it's a pointer, so yes, it needs to actually point at something real. 🙈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so when this function gets called, a bunch of things happen and every single one of them matters, no skipping:

• initialize hardware operations. ✨
• get target side pcie port number for the device. 👑
• set initial configuration and max limits. 💅

that's the vibe check: ops first, then the pcie port number for the target side, then the starting config plus the max limits. all three, every time, periodt. 🌈
