qed_mcp_nvm_write(9)

✨ qed_mcp_nvm_write(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — it's literally the manpage for qed_mcp_nvm_write, and it's giving "tiny function, big job" energy 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_mcp_nvm_write — Write to NVM.

like. it writes to the NVM. that's the whole vibe. no cap 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int qed_mcp_nvm_write (struct qed_dev *cdev , u32 cmd , u32 addr , u8
*p_buf , u32 len );

bestie it returns an int, and it takes five things. five!! we love a multi-arg moment 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cdev — Qed dev pointer. this is the whole device, the main character 👑
• cmd — NVM command. the what-are-we-doing of it all.
• addr — NVM offset. where in the NVM we're landing ✨
• p_buf — NVM write buffer. the actual bytes going in there 🍓
• len — Buffer len. how much of the buffer we're talking about.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Int — 0 — Operation was successul.

lowkey quoting the page directly here — yes, "successul" is spelled That Way in the original, and honestly? iconic of it. we do not correct legends 💀

so like, 0 means it worked. the rest is on you, iykyk 🙈
