clk_bulk_put(9)

💅 clk_bulk_put(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie 🎀

okay so real talk, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is clk_bulk_put — yes it's a 9, yes that means kernel-internal, yes we're fancy 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

clk_bulk_put — "free" the clock source 💖 (the quotes are doing a LOT of work there, keep them, they're load-bearing)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void clk_bulk_put (int num_clks , struct clk_bulk_data *clks );

like… she returns nothing (void), she takes two things, she's chill about it 🦋

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• num_clks — the number of clk_bulk_data 🍓 (aka how many entries are in that table, don't lie to her)
• clks — the clk_bulk_data table of consumer 👑 (the actual table, hand it over)

---

🔥 NOTE 🔥

bestie this part is NOT a vibe, it's rules 📋

drivers must ensure that all clk_bulk_enable calls made on this clock source are balanced by clk_bulk_disable calls prior to calling this function. balanced. like, enable-count-wise. no leftover enables, periodt 💀

clk_bulk_put should not be called from within interrupt context 🚫✨ like genuinely do not, that's not the moment, that's not the place 😭

and that's the page!! mwah 💋 this one came from ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and it's literally titled clk_bulk_put(9) — slay, ate, no crumbs, go free those clocks responsibly bestie 👑✨
