pch_gbe_down(9)

✨ pch_gbe_down(9) — ok so you're in the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Bestie. Sit down. We're talking about pch_gbe_down, the function that takes your GbE network device and, like, gently puts it to bed. Down GbE network device. Down, girl. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pch_gbe_down (struct pch_gbe_adapter *adapter );

That's it. That's the whole vibe. No return value — it's giving void, it's giving main character who doesn't need to report back. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — the board private structure. That's the ✨ thing ✨ you hand over. It's your board's private business, and we do not ask questions about it. 🦋
