phydev_id_compare(9)
π NAME π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β this page is phydev_id_compare(9), and it's literally here to compare @id with the PHY's Clause 22 ID. π
β¨
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
bool phydev_id_compare (struct phy_device *phydev , u32 id );
π ARGUMENTS π
phydevβ the PHY device π«Άidβ the PHY ID to be matched π―
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So the vibe is: compare the phydev Clause 22 ID with the provided id, and return true or false depending on whether it matches β using the bound driver mask. No cap, that's the whole matchmaking situation. π
heads up bestie: the phydev must be bound to a driver. That part is not optional, okay? π
