qed_mcp_bis...t_num_images(9)

okay bestie, welcome to qed_mcp_bis...t_num_images(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the little kernel-side helper for the BIST NVM test that gets the number of images. Let’s get into it 💖

💖 NAME 💖

qed_mcp_bist_nvm_get_num_images — Bist nvm test - get number of images.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int qed_mcp_bist_nvm_get_num_images (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct
qed_ptt *p_ptt , u32 *num_images );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p_hwfn — HW device data. the whole hardware-device lore, basically.
• p_ptt — PTT required for register access. yes bestie, you need it for poking the registers.
• num_images — number of images if operation was successful. 0 if not. that’s the output spot 👑

💅 RETURN 💅

The return type is int; 0 is the success case: Operation was successul. (keeping the original spelling, no cap 😭)
