🌸 yt8821_config_init(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a little baby page about a phy init function, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty" 💅

✨ NAME ✨

yt8821_config_init — phy initialization 🎀

(it's the setup moment, the glow-up before the phy actually does anything, iykyk)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int yt8821_config_init (struct phy_device *phydev );

like, that's the whole signature. copy it exactly, no cap, don't get creative with it 🔥

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • phydev — a pointer to a struct phy_device 🫶 — literally just a pointer to the phy device struct, that's it, that's the whole argument

🌈 RETURN 🌈

returns 0 or a negative errno code

so: 0 = slay, we're good ✨ — negative errno = something went sideways, and the error code will tell you what 😭

fr fr check that return value. negative errno codes are not a vibe to ignore 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑
