clk_bulk_disable(9)

💖 clk_bulk_disable 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for clk_bulk_disable — this is the "we're so done with these clocks" girlie ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

clk_bulk_disable — tell the system that the whole set of clks is no longer required 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void clk_bulk_disable (int num_clks , const struct clk_bulk_data *clks );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• num_clks — the number of clk_bulk_data (yes queen, the count 💅)
• clks — the clk_bulk_data table of the consumer (the actual list, the main character 👑)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the whole vibe here is: you're informing the system that a set of clks is no longer required by a driver, and it may be shut down. literally just telling the kernel "we're good, you can power down now" 💀

May be called from atomic contexts. — yes, she's flexible like that, no cap.

Implementation detail: if the set of clks is shared between multiple drivers, then clk_bulk_enable calls must be balanced by the same number of clk_bulk_disable calls for the clock source to actually be disabled. it's giving ✨balance✨ — skip one and the clock just stays on, lowkey embarrassing 🙈
