devm_clk_bulk_get_enable(9)

💖 devm_clk_bulk_get_enable 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 — yes we're literally in the kernel docs rn, stay with me.

---

✨ NAME ✨

devm_clk_bulk_get_enable — grab a whole squad of clocks and turn them on, all managed for you 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the device that's being the clock "consumer" here, aka the one thirsty for clocks 🫶
• num_clks — how many clk_bulk_data entries we're working with, the headcount basically
• clks — pointer to the consumer's very own clk_bulk_data table, the roster 📋

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So it behaves exactly the same as devm_clk_bulk_get, except it also prepares and enables the clocks — all in one single operation, with management baked in 🎀. The clks will automatically get disabled, unprepared and freed when the device is unbound. Like, it cleans up after itself, no cap, main character energy.

---

💀 RETURN 💀

Returns 0 if every single clock in the clk_bulk_data table is obtained and enabled successfully — slay ✨. Otherwise it returns a valid IS_ERR condition containing errno, so bestie, please check it 🙈.
