💅 pch_gbe_phy_get_id(9) — like, the kernel API manual one 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to a Kernel API Manual page and honestly? it's a short one, but it's a serve. the star of the show is pch_gbe_phy_get_id, and her whole entire job is: Retrieve the PHY ID and revision. that's it. that's the vibe. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

pch_gbe_phy_get_id — Retrieve the PHY ID and revision 🌸

like literally just goes and fetches the PHY ID and the revision. both. she's thorough. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 pch_gbe_phy_get_id (struct pch_gbe_hw *hw );

that's the whole signature, icon that it is. returns an s32, takes a pointer to a struct pch_gbe_hw. periodt. ⭐

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • hw — Pointer to the HW structure Returns 0: Successful. Negative value: Failed.

okay so that one bullet is doing a lot of heavy lifting, let me break it down for you 🫶 — hw is a pointer to the HW structure, and then wrapped up right in there are the return deets: 0 means Successful, and a negative value means Failed. so like, if you get a negative number back, that's your sign the whole thing did not slay. 😭 no guessing, that's just what the page says, bestie.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

the whole friend group, in order, fr fr:

like, go read the rest of them too. they're all in ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe_phy.c and honestly it's giving main character energy over there. 📚🔥

ok tiny heads up bestie: that line at the bottom of the original is ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-sem... — truncated and everything — dated October 2026, and it's the source/version + date footer for pch_gbe_phy_get_id(9). so yeah, that's the tea. 🍓

and that's the whole page!! short, sweet, ate, left no crumbs 💖🧚‍♀️ bye bestie, ily, go retrieve some PHY IDs responsibly 🎀✨
