wx_read_ee_hostif_buffer(9)

💅 wx_read_ee_hostif_buffer — bestie's guide to the Kernel API Manual ✨

ok so first things first, we are literally in the Kernel API Manual rn, and this page is wx_read_ee_hostif_buffer(9). yes that's a mouthful, yes it slays, we move. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

wx_read_ee_hostif_buffer — reads EEPROM word(s) using hostif. that's the whole vibe. short, iconic, does one thing. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int wx_read_ee_hostif_buffer (struct wx *wx , u16 offset , u16 words ,
u16 *data );

like look at her. four args, returns an int, no cap. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• wx — pointer to hardware structure. yes queen, the whole hardware struct, hand it over.
• offset — offset of word in the EEPROM to read. where in the EEPROM we're looking, bestie. 📍
• words — number of words. plural. because we're not doing just one.
• data — word(s) read from the EEPROM. the output cuties live here. this is where the answer goes. 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Reads a 16 bit word(s) from the EEPROM using the hostif. that's it. that's the function. it goes to the EEPROM, through the hostif, and pulls out 16-bit word(s). lowkey elegant, highkey essential. ✨

and that's the page, bestie!! 🎀 forty whole SEE ALSOs and we read every single one, not me being a completionist or whatever 😭

this lil love letter came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun... and it's dated October 2026, and yes it's still filed under wx_read_ee_hostif_buffer(9) in the Kernel API Manual, periodt. 💜✨
