stmmac_of_get_mac_mode(9)

✨ NAME ✨

stmmac_of_get_mac_mode — bestie, this one retrieves the interface of the MAC 💅

(welcome to the Kernel API Manual, you're gonna slay here fr fr)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int stmmac_of_get_mac_mode (struct device_node *np );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• np — the device-tree node, aka the actual source of truth we're reading from 🫶
  • device-tree node

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: it's basically the spiritual sibling of of_get_phy_mode, except this one's pulling the interface mode on the MAC side straight out of the device-tree 🌈

And lowkey the important assumption here — the way it's written, it assumes there's a mode converter in-between the MAC & PHY (think GMII-to-RGMII kinda situation, iykyk) 🔥 So yes, that's the whole vibe check: converter in the middle, mode read off the MAC side, iconic behavior, no notes 💖
