velocity_mii_write(9)

💖 velocity_mii_write(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this one comes straight from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving “one tiny MII write, absolutely no drama.” 💅

✨ NAME ✨

velocity_mii_write — write MII data. That’s the name, that’s the assignment, and she ate. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int velocity_mii_write (struct mac_regs __iomem *regs , u8 mii_addr ,
       u16 data );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• regs — velocity registers. Periodt.
• mii_addr — MII register index. The little “which one?” number, iykyk.
• data — 16bit data for the MII register. Exactly what it says on the label, bestie.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It performs a single write to an MII 16bit register. Single. One. No cap. ✨

Returns zero on success, or -ETIMEDOUT if the PHY did not respond 😭. That’s the whole story — success is zero, and a non-responding PHY gives you that timeout energy.
