stmmac_stop_sw_lpi(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 stmmac_stop_sw_lpi — no cap, this is from the Kernel API Manual bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you're doing software-controlled LPI, and someone needs to stop transmitting that LPI state. yeah. that's this function. it's the "ok we're done here" button and honestly? iconic. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void stmmac_stop_sw_lpi(struct stmmac_priv *priv);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one arg, no return value, she just does the thing and leaves. main character energy fr fr 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • priv — the driver private structure 💖 your little bag of driver secrets, passed in so the function knows which stmmac instance we're shutting the LPI down on. no priv, no party.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so when you're running software-controlled LPI, this bad boy stops transmitting the LPI state. that's the entire job description. she clocks out, she stops sending LPI, done. 🫶

lowkey the most straightforward function in the whole file and honestly? we stan a queen who knows her lane. 👑
