phy_driver_is_genphy(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is phy_driver_is_genphy(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the convenience function that checks whether a PHY is driven by one of the generic PHY drivers. no cap, that's the whole plot 🫶✨.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool phy_driver_is_genphy (struct phy_device *phydev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phydev — the phy_device struct. that's the one and only argument, bestie 💅.

🦋 RETURN 🦋

It hands you back true if the PHY is driven by one of the genphy drivers. periodt 🌸.
