💖 pch_gbe_phy_read_reg_miic(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes this is a real man page, no I'm not kidding, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

pch_gbe_phy_read_reg_miic — literally just Read MII control register. that's the whole job. iconic, honestly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 pch_gbe_phy_read_reg_miic (struct pch_gbe_hw *hw , u32 offset , u16
*data );

that's it, that's the whole call. don't overthink it 🦋

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — Pointer to the HW structure. it's the hardware handle, the main character of this whole operation ✨
• offset — Register offset to be read. you're telling it which register you want, precise queen behaviour 👑
• data — Pointer to the read data. this is where the good stuff lands. also, the returns live right here in the same breath:
  • 0: Successful. we love a clean win 🎉
  • -EINVAL: Invalid argument. you gave it something cursed and it's telling you so, no cap 💀

ngl the return values get listed right next to data in the original, so that's how I'm giving them to you too — nothing lost, everything preserved fr fr 🍓
