pm8001_init_sas_add(9)

✨ pm8001_init_sas_add ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the pm8001_init_sas_add(9) glow-up 💅 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the moment our HBA gets its SAS address, no cap 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int pm8001_init_sas_add (struct pm8001_hba_info *pm8001_ha );

like, that's the whole signature, she's cute, she's int, she takes one pointer, periodt ✨

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• pm8001_ha — our ha struct 💖 that's literally it, that's the whole argument, she's the main character here 👑

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so rn what we're doing is just setting a fixed SAS address onto our HBA 😭 that's the vibe currently.

for manufacture, it should read from the EEPROM 👀 — like, that's what it's supposed to do, but that is not what's happening in this code rn, bestie.

so yeah. fixed address now, EEPROM reading is the someday-dream 🌈 the code does not do it yet, don't let anyone tell you otherwise 🙈
