stmmac_eee_ctrl_timer(9)

💅 stmmac_eee_ctrl_timer(9) — EEE TX SW timer 💅

okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual entry for stmmac_eee_ctrl_timer, and it's giving "small timer, big EEE energy." no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

stmmac_eee_ctrl_timer — EEE TX SW timer. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void stmmac_eee_ctrl_timer (struct timer_list *t );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• t — the timer_list struct containing private info. that's the whole arg, periodt. 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so the actual tea: if there is no data transfer and if we are not in LPI state, then the MAC Transmitter can be moved to LPI state. that's the vibe, and that's the function. 🌈
