BASIC GATEABLE CLOCK WHICH CAN GATE AND UNGATE ITS OUTPUT(9)

🎀 basic gateable clock which can gate and ungate its output (9) 🎀

Kernel API Manual, section 9 — okay so this is the manual page for a basic gateable clock that can gate and ungate its output. It’s giving very demure, very mindful clock energy, and the traits are right here:

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Traits of this clock, bestie — memorize these like your fave lyrics:

• prepare — clk_(un)prepare only ensures the parent is (un)prepared. That’s the whole job, no extra side quest.
• enable — clk_enable and clk_disable are functional & control gating. Yes ma’am, the enable/disable girlies are doing the actual gating.
• rate — inherits its rate from the parent. There is no clk_set_rate support, so don’t come for it with rate changes, periodt.
• parent — fixed parent. There is no clk_set_parent support either — the parent is locked in, iykyk.

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• Kernel file: ./drivers/clk/imx/clk-gate2.c — go read it, bestie, it’s right there.
