prot_autoc_write_generic(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to prot_autoc_write_generic(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the manual page for the function that hides the MAC differences needed for AUTOC write 💅✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the whole signature, exactly as it is:

int prot_autoc_write_generic (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 reg_val , bool
locked );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure 🫶
• reg_val — the value to write to AUTOC ⭐
• locked — a bool that says whether the SW/FW lock was already taken by the previous read 🔒

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the kernel file is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c — that's the file ref, no cap 💖

okay that's the page, bestie 🫶 — cute footer sign-off: this one is from the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026, and the source/version footer shows ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... plus the page name prot_autoc_write_generic(9) ✨💅
