πŸ’… clk_hw_get_of_node (9) β€” the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so you're looking at the clk_hw_get_of_node(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one. like, grab a lil snack, this is a quick read πŸ“


🌸 NAME 🌸

clk_hw_get_of_node β€” get device_node from a hardware clock. that's the whole gig. no cap.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

struct device_node * clk_hw_get_of_node (const struct clk_hw *hw );

literally just hand it a clk_hw pointer and it hands you back a struct device_node *. iconic behavior tbh 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • hw β€” the clk_hw pointer you're pulling the struct device_node from. that's it, that's the only thing it wants from you πŸ’œ

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this is a little helper function whose entire main character energy is: get the struct device_node that's associated with a hardware clock. it's giving "small function, very clear purpose" πŸ’… no drama, no side quests.


⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns the struct device_node associated with the clock. and if there literally isn't one? you get NULL. like, no node, no vibes. NULL. periodt πŸ™ˆ

don't forget the NULL case exists β€” check before you go dereferencing, bestie, fr fr 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is the part where the page goes full group-chat-tag-everyone mode. the whole clk squad shows up. also heads up, the kernel file is ./include/linux/clk-provider.h πŸ‘‘

like i said. everyone's here. it's a whole reunion πŸ”₯


and that's the page, bestie! 🧚 quick lil sign-off: this one lives over in ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and it's the clk_hw_get_of_node(9) manual page β€” go get that device_node, slay πŸ’–πŸŽ€πŸ‘‘
