_init_interface_clks(9)

💖 _init_interface_clks — the interface-clock getter (kernel API manual, section 9) 🎀

okay so bestie, gather round, because this one is short but it matters. This is the man page for _init_interface_clks, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9. It's giving "small function, big job" energy and honestly? obsessed. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

_init_interface_clks — grab a struct clk * for the hwmod's interface clks. literally what it says on the tin. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int _init_interface_clks (struct omap_hwmod *oh );

no cap, that's the whole signature. one argument, one int back. iconic.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• oh — a struct omap_hwmod *. that's it, that's the tea. it's the hwmod we're doing clock stuff for. 👑

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so this is the lowkey underrated one: _init_interface_clks gets called from _init_clocks (yes, the one with the similar-but-not-same name — iykyk, don't mix them up bestie 😭).

what does it actually do? it populates the oh OCP slave interface clock pointers. that's the whole vibe. the oh you handed it gets its interface clock pointers filled in. 🎀

and the return value? simple, clean, main character energy:

• 0 on success ✨
• -EINVAL on error 💀

that's it. no weird edge cases listed here, no secret flags. just "did it work or nah".

ngl, this is one of those tiny internal helpers where the man page is basically a vibe check: what it's called from, what it fills in, what it returns. all three facts are above, and we are not losing any of them. 💜

and that's the whole page, bestie — go populate some interface clock pointers, you got this 🧚💖

oh and the sign-off receipts, because we always cite our sources: this one comes from ./arch/arm/mach-omap2, stamped October 2026, and it's _init_interface_clks(9) all the way down. mwah 💋🌸
