STRUCT PSE_PW_STATUS(9)

✨ struct pse_pw_status(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct pse_pw_status page from the Kernel API Manual — this is the whole entire vibe check on PSE power detection status and honestly it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct pse_pw_status — PSE power detection status ✨ (yes that's it, that's the whole name, iconic)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct pse_pw_status {
    enum ethtool_podl_pse_pw_d_status podl_pw_status;
    enum ethtool_c33_pse_pw_d_status c33_pw_status;
 };

look at her. two fields. no cap, that's the whole struct 🫶

🦋 Members 🦋

• podl_pw_status — the power detection status of the PoDL PSE. this one is straight out of IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.3 aPoDLPSEPowerDetectionStatus , so yeah, it's cited, it's official, it's got receipts 💖
• c33_pw_status — the power detection status of the PSE. this one comes from IEEE 802.3-2022 30.9.1.1.5 aPSEPowerDetectionStatus , and before you ask, yes, different spec year, different clause, they're two separate things, don't conflate them bestie 😭

fr fr do not mix up podl_pw_status and c33_pw_status — they're two different enums from two different IEEE specs, and the manual is very much not joking about the exact clause numbers 🔥
