🌸 devm_clk_bulk_get (9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of <pink>devm_clk_bulk_get</pink> 💅 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the managed version of grabbing a whole squad of clock consumers at once. main character energy fr fr 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

devm_clk_bulk_get — managed get multiple clk consumers 🕐🕐🕐

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int devm_clk_bulk_get (struct device *dev , int num_clks , struct clk_bulk_data *clks );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • dev — the device that's acting as the clock "consumer". yeah, like the customer. the one who wants the clocks. 👑
  • num_clks — the number of clk_bulk_data. literally how many you're asking for, bestie. count them. 🔢
  • clks — the clk_bulk_data table of the consumer. this is where the goods land 📋

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

So here's the vibe: it returns 0 on success, and an errno on failure. that's it. no cap 🧚

This helper function lets drivers get several clk consumers in one single operation — with management ✨ — and the clks will automatically be freed when the device is unbound. the way that it just cleans up after itself?? iconic. no manual clk_bulk_put era for you, you're free 🙈

⚠️ real talk though: it's return value first, everything else second — always check that 0 vs errno, bestie, because failure is a whole mood you do NOT want to discover later 😭
