clk_hw_regi..._parent_data(9)

💅 clk_hw_regi..._parent_data(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so bestie. welcome to the group chat for kernel clock people 🕰️. this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the page for clk_hw_register_divider_parent_data. it's giving "i make dividers and i know things" energy and i'm lowkey obsessed 💖.

---

✨ NAME ✨

clk_hw_register_divider_parent_data — bestie, this is the one that registers a divider clock with the clock framework 🎀. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

clk_hw_register_divider_parent_data (dev , name , parent_data , flags ,
reg , shift , width , clk_divider_flags , lock );

like, look at her. nine whole arguments. main character energy fr fr 👑.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

every single one matters, no skipping, i don't make the rules (the kernel does):

• dev — the device that's registering this clock 🫶. it's the one putting its name on the paperwork.
• name — the name of this clock, bestie. what you gonna call her 👑.
• parent_data — the parent clk data ✨. the family tree situation.
• flags — the framework-specific flags 🚩. framework says so, so you do it.
• reg — the register address you're gonna adjust the divider at 💅. go touch that register.
• shift — how many bits you shift the bitfield by 🌈. math but make it fashion.
• width — the width of the bitfield 🎀. how thicc that field is.
• clk_divider_flags — divider-specific flags for this clock 🦋. yes, there are two flag arguments. yes, you need both. ngl this is a whole vibe.
• lock — the shared register lock for this clock 🔒. share it nice, please.
