t3_check_tpsram(9)

✨ t3_check_tpsram ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — t3_check_tpsram(9), bestie. it's the whole "is this SRAM even compatible with my driver" vibe check. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

t3_check_tpsram — check if provided protocol SRAM is compatible with this driver

like, it's a compatibility check. that's the whole personality. 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int t3_check_tpsram (struct adapter *adapter , const u8 *tp_sram ,
unsigned int size );

literally the whole signature, no cap. ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• adapter — the adapter. that's it. that's the whole description. she's iconic and mysterious like that 😌
• tp_sram — the firmware image to write 👀
• size — image size, aka how big the thing is 📏

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically it checks if an adapter's tp sram is compatible with the driver. that's the assignment, and it understood it. 💯

it returns 0 if the versions are compatible — slay, we're good, everything matches ✨ — and a negative error otherwise. yeah. negative. not great. 😭

fr fr: 0 = compatible, negative = nope. that's the whole return contract, don't overthink it. 🧚

the little footnote era 🎀

so this page is from ./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio..., dated October 2026, and she's filed under t3_check_tpsram(9). that's the source, the version vibe and the date, all cute and accounted for. bye bestie, go check some SRAM 💅✨🌸
