πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

okay so here's the tea: t4_prep_adapter initializes the adapter's SW state for the various HW modules, sets initial values for some adapter tunables, takes the PHYs out of reset, and initializes the MDIO interface. that's the prep, and it's giving main character energy for getting the adapter ready for operation πŸ”₯πŸ’–
