💖 wx_read_ee_hostif_data(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes we're in the kernel docs now, and yes this one is a lil EEPROM reader, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

wx_read_ee_hostif_data — reads an EEPROM word using a host interface cmd, and it's assuming the semaphore is already obtained (key detail, do not skip, iykyk 👀).

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int wx_read_ee_hostif_data (struct wx *wx , u16 offset , u16 *data );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • wx — pointer to the hardware structure 🫶 that's your whole device vibe right there
  • offset — offset of the word in the EEPROM you wanna read, like picking which drawer in the dresser 💅
  • data — the word read from the EEPROM, this is where the answer lands ✨

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So what it does: reads a 16 bit word from the EEPROM using the hostif 🔥 that's it, that's the whole plot. 16 bits. very demure, very mindful.

fr fr though — the semaphore is already supposed to be held when you call this, that's the whole premise of the function, don't come for me if you skipped that part 😭
