alloc_clk(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to alloc_clk(9) — courtesy of the Kernel API Manual — and it's giving “make a clk consumer but don't link it yet” 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

alloc_clk — allocate a clk consumer, but leave it unlinked to the clk_core. That's literally the whole vibe: you get the consumer, but it is not linked to the clk_core yet. No cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct clk * alloc_clk (struct clk_core *core , const char *dev_id ,
const char *con_id );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • core — the clk you're allocating a consumer for. It's a struct clk_core *, if we're being precise 💅
  • dev_id — a string describing the device name.
  • con_id — the connection ID string on the device.

🌸 RETURN 🌸

You get back a clk consumer that is left unlinked from the consumer list. Like, it exists, it's yours, but it is not on the list — periodt. 😭
