t4_seeprom_wp(9)

✨ NAME ✨

t4_seeprom_wp — enable/disable EEPROM write protection 💅

(okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and yes bestie we are reading kernel API docs together, this is our era now 🫶)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int t4_seeprom_wp(struct adapter *adapter, bool enable);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — the adapter. the whole entire NIC situation. the main character 💖
• enable — a bool, and it's literally just "do we turn write protection on, or do we turn it off?" no cap, that's the whole vibe check 🔥

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Enables or disables write protection on the serial EEPROM. that's it. that's the function. she flips the write-protect bit and goes home ✨

like — when enable says yes, the serial EEPROM is write-protected. when enable says no, it's not. one job, done flawlessly, we stan a focused queen 👑

and the source file to go read if you want the real lore:

./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/t4_hw.c

fr fr read the actual file if you're gonna touch this — the manpage is the vibe, the source is the receipts 🧚

---

okay that's the whole page bestie, ily, go protect some EEPROM 💖 this one came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio... back in October 2026 — iconic date, iconic doc, catch you in the next manpage 🎀✨👑
