xemaclite_mdio_wait(9)

✨ xemaclite_mdio_wait ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for xemaclite_mdio_wait(9) — yes that's the section 9 vibe, kernel-internals-only, iykyk 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

xemaclite_mdio_wait — literally just waiting for the MDIO to be ready to use 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int xemaclite_mdio_wait (struct net_local *lp );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• lp — a pointer to the Emaclite device private data. That's your little bundle of device gossip, bestie 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea: this function waits till the device is ready to accept a new MDIO request. That's it. That's the whole job. It sits there, patiently, like you waiting for your friend to finally reply to the group chat 😭 — until the hardware says "okay I'm ready" for a fresh MDIO request.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 for success — slay, it worked 💅
• ETIMEDOUT for a timeout — the vibe check failed, it took too long 💀
