πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

okay bestie so clk_hw_register_fixed_rate_with_accuracy_parent_hw β€” say it three times fast, i dare you β€” is literally the function that registers a fixed-rate clock with the clock framework. that's the whole vibe. it's from the Kernel API Manual and it's giving "i have a very specific job and i do it flawlessly." periodt πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

clk_hw_register_fixed_rate_with_accuracy_parent_hw (dev , name ,

look at that signature. immaculate. six arguments, no notes. 🌸


πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

so here's the group chat roster β€” every single one of these matters, don't skip a single one:

  • dev β€” the device that is registering this clock. like, who's filing the paperwork. 🫢
