devm_clk_hw_...ster_divider(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 devm_clk_hw_register_divider — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🌸

Okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual, and the page header is literally devm_clk_hw_...ster_divider(9) (yes the title is truncated, no that's not my fault, that's just how it printed 💀). Anyway — it's the devm_clk_hw_register_divider page, and it's giving "register a divider clock with the clock framework." Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

Bestie. This is the whole point of the page:

devm_clk_hw_register_divider - register a divider clock with the clock framework

That's it. That's the vibe. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Here's exactly how you call it — copy it character for character, no freestyling:

devm_clk_hw_register_divider (dev , name , parent_name , flags , reg ,
shift , width , clk_divider_flags , lock );

Nine whole parameters, okay? She's thorough. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

Every single one, coming right up — nothing skipped, nothing merged, I promise 🫶

  • dev — the device that's registering this clock. Like, who's the parent in the paperwork sense, not the clock-tree sense (that's parent_name, keep up 😭).
  • name — the name of this clock. Her name. Her identity. Iconic.
  • parent_name — the name of the clock's parent. Yes, clocks have parents, it's a whole family tree 🌈.
  • flags — framework-specific flags. The generic ones, not the divider ones (those are literally two bullets down, we'll get there).
  • reg — the register address you're adjusting the divider in. This is the address, not the value — do not get it twisted.
  • shift — how many bits to shift the bitfield. The bitfield's little offset era ✨.
  • width — the width of the bitfield. How chonky it is.
  • clk_divider_flags — divider-specific flags for this clock. See? Told you we'd get here. These are the divider ones, separate from flags up top, don't mix 'em up 💀.
  • lock — the shared register lock for this clock. Shared, okay, so be polite about it.

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

Okay this list is long long, and every single one of these is required reading according to the page, so here we go, in order, no cap:

Like I said. Long long. But she ate, honestly 🔥

Heads up bestie: the page lists those SEE ALSO entries exactly as written above, so if you're grepping, match the (9) suffixes and don't drop the struct keywords 💖

Okay that's the whole page, and we're done!! Sign-off time: this one ships from ./include/linux and is dated October 2026, filed under the manual title devm_clk_hw_...ster_divider(9). Slay, go register some dividers, mwah 💋🎀
