📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 of_set_phy_timing_role(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — yes, the kernel kernel, we're being fancy today 👑

✨ NAME ✨

of_set_phy_timing_role — Set the master/slave mode of the PHY 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void of_set_phy_timing_role (struct phy_device *phydev );

that's it. that's the whole thing. one function, one argument, zero drama (mostly) 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • phydev — literally just the phy_device struct. that's the whole vibe. hand it over and let the function cook 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so what does it do? it sets the master/slave configuration of the PHY — and it does it based on the device tree. so like, the device tree already decided, and this function is just the messenger reading the room 🧚✨

no cap, that's the entire description. it's a short one. we love a low-effort icon 🫶

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

buckle up bestie, this list is long and it ATE 💀 the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/phy/phy-core.c, and here's the whole squad:

like… that's the whole friend group right there 🔥 the double-underscore ones are the introverts, iykyk 🙈

ngl there's nothing dangerous in here, it's not deprecated, nothing's undefined. it's just a chill little role-assigner. go off king 👑

and that's the tea ☕ this page came out of ./drivers/net/phy in October 2026, part of the Kernel API Manual, and it's called of_set_phy_timing_role(9) — periodt. 💜 🌈 ⭐
