πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’Ύ clk_divider_save_context(9) β€” from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, the clock tree is giving main character energy, and somebody needs to remember what a divider was set to before it gets yeeted into a suspend or whatever. that's this function. it's a tiny little icon and it does exactly one thing, and honestly? we stan a focused queen πŸ‘‘


🌸 NAME 🌸

clk_divider_save_context β€” literally saves the divider value. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap πŸ’…

it returns an int, it takes one pointer, it's neat, it's tidy, it's lowkey perfect πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • hw β€” a pointer to a struct clk_hw. that's the clock hardware thingy you're saving context for. pointer. struct clk_hw. exactly that. don't come for me, I'm just reading the sheet 🫢

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

Save the divider value.

like, genuinely, that's the entire description. the kernel devs really said "brevity is the soul of wit" and logged off 😭 so bestie, all I can tell you is what's on the page: it saves the divider value. no more, no less, no extra lore, no secret side quests 🌈


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

  • Kernel file ./drivers/clk/ti/divider.c β€” the home base for all this TI divider goodness. go read it, it's giving source of truth πŸ’œ
  • clk_divider_restore_context(9) β€” the other half of the duo. save it, then restore it. the way that they're a matching set?? iconic πŸ‘‘
  • of_ti_divider_clk_setup(9) β€” the setup function, for when you wanna build the divider in the first place 🌸

ngl there's not a ton here, so like β€” don't go inventing behaviour I didn't tell you about. what's written is what's real, fr fr πŸ’€

and that's the whole page, bestie!! πŸŽ€ sign-off time: this little beauty lives under ./drivers/clk/ti, and it's dated October 2026. slay, see you in the next manpage πŸ’…βœ¨πŸ¦‹
