t4vf_get_vpd_params(9)

💅 t4vf_get_vpd_params(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual one, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Chelsio cxgb4vf driver, you need the device's VPD tea, and this little function is the one who serves it. it's giving "small function, big job" energy. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int t4vf_get_vpd_params (struct adapter *adapter );

that's it. that's the whole signature. short king 👑

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• adapter — the adapter. yeah, that's the whole description we got, and honestly? it's the adapter. it's the adapter. main character energy fr fr 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? it retrieves various device Vital Product Data parameters. VPD. the vital stuff. the product data. the lore, if you will ✨

and where does all that delicious data end up? it gets stored in adapter->params.vpd. that's the spot. that's where the VPD lives now. no cap 📦

ngl the original description is short and sweet — it retrieves the VPD parameters and stashes them in adapter->params.vpd. that's the entire vibe check, nothing more to spill 💅
