💖 phy_write_paged(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for phy_write_paged(9) — the lowkey convenience function for writing a paged register. It’s giving “one little write, but on a page,” and we’re gonna get you comfy with it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

phy_write_paged — convenience function for writing a paged register. That’s the whole name-and-one-liner combo, and yes, it ate. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int phy_write_paged (struct phy_device *phydev , int page , u32 regnum ,
u16 val );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• phydev — a pointer to a struct phy_device. Like, this is the PHY device bestie we’re talking about. 🫶
• page — the page for the phy. Yep, that page. 👑
• regnum — register number. The number of the register, periodt. 🔥
• val — value to write. The actual value going in. ⭐

🍓 DESCRIPTION 🍓

The description is short and iconic: Same rules as for phy_write.

That’s it. That’s the whole vibe check on this page — if you know phy_write, you already know the rules here. Go check phy_write for the details, bestie. No cap. 💜
