✨ _wait_idlest_generic(9) ✨

okay so bestie, this little icon is from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s literally the “please leave idle” waiter for a module. no cap. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

_wait_idlest_generic — wait for a module to leave the idle state. that’s the whole vibe: module is idling, and we want it to stop idling. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int _wait_idlest_generic (struct clk_hw_omap *clk , struct clk_omap_reg
*reg , u32 mask , u8 idlest , const char *name );

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• clk — the module clock you’re waiting for, and yes it’s needed for register offsets. main character energy, honestly. 👑
• reg — virtual address of the module IDLEST register. that’s the spot we’re checking, bestie.
• mask — the value to mask against to determine if the module is active. vibe check for “is it doing stuff?” 🔥
• idlest — the idle state indicator for the clock, and it’s 0 or 1. just those two, periodt.
• name — the name of the clock, for printk. so when it talks, it can say who it is. 💖

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

It waits for a module to leave idle, where its idle-status register is not inside the CM module. that’s the specific little situation this cutie handles. 🌈

It returns 1 if the module left idle promptly, or 0 if the module did not leave idle before the timeout elapsed. so like, prompt departure = 1, timeout sad times = 0. 😭

⚠️ XXX Deprecated — should be moved into drivers for the individual IP block that the IDLEST register exists in. so yeah, this is giving “legacy era,” and that note is real. 🙈
