💅 clkdm_get_pwrdm(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about clkdm_get_pwrdm. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "one job and it does it perfectly" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

clkdm_get_pwrdm — returns a ptr to the pwrdm that this clkdm resides in 🫶

like. literally that's the whole thing. a little pointer handoff between two kernel structs, and honestly? iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct powerdomain * clkdm_get_pwrdm (struct clockdomain *clkdm );

that return type is struct powerdomain *, and yes she does come with a space before the paren, that's just how the manual rolls 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • clkdm — type: struct clockdomain *. that's it, that's the whole argument list. one (1) clockdomain pointer, no notes, no extras, no secret third thing 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe check: you hand it a clockdomain, and it returns a pointer to the struct powerdomain that the specified clockdomain clkdm exists in. 🏠✨ you give it a clkdm, it tells you which pwrdm she lives in. it's giving "showing you around the neighborhood."

and if clkdm is NULL? it returns NULL. no cap. no crash, no drama, no yelling — just a polite NULL right back at you. 😭👑 so your null-check era can stay cute and your pointer math can stay safe.

💀 tiny reminder that the NULL case gives you a NULL back, so check before you deref, bestie — it's not gonna do that part for you!

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay so the whole squad shows up here, and it's a LOT of them — the Kernel file ./arch/arm/mach-omap2/clockdomain.c plus this entire friend group:

iykyk — that's the whole clockdomain extended universe, and yes we stan every single one 🫶🌈

and that's the page!! it lives in ./arch/arm/mach-omap2, dated October 2026, and it's titled clkdm_get_pwrdm(9) — go forth and find your powerdomain, bestie, you got this 💜🎀⭐
