🌸 NAME 🌸

like, it's literally in the name bestie, we're setting the floor on how slow a clock is allowed to go 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int clk_set_min_rate (struct clk *clk , unsigned long rate );

that's the whole signature, no cap 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • clk — the clock source 💖 that's the clock you're doing all this for
  • rate — the desired minimum clock rate in Hz, inclusive ⭐ (yes inclusive, so the minimum counts as allowed, don't come for me)

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Returns success (0) or negative errno.

that's it, that's the description. short and slay. if it works you get a 0, if it doesn't you get a negative errno and honestly that's the vibe check 😭
