💫 devm_clk_hw...or_parent_hw(9) 💫

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual one, the kernel docs, we're doing this 🫶 grab a strawberry drink and let's go, because this function is lowkey iconic and you're gonna understand it fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

devm_clk_hw_register_fixed_factor_parent_hw — the function that registers a fixed factor clock, but with a pointer to the parent clock instead of... you know, not that. 💅

It's giving "I do one thing and I do it well", and that thing is: register your clock. Slay.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay here's the whole vibe in one line, copy it exactly, no cap:

devm_clk_hw_register_fixed_factor_parent_hw (dev , name , parent_hw ,
                                             flags , mult , div );

That's the whole call. Six things. That's it. Periodt. ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

okay so every single one of these matters, no skipping, I see you 👀

  • dev — the device that is registering this clock. like, who is doing this. the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • name — the name of this clock. give it a cute name, it deserves one 🎀
  • parent_hw — pointer to parent clk. yes, the parent. the clock that came before. the icon, the legend 💜
  • flags — the fixed factor flags. little toggles, big energy 🌈
  • mult — the multiplier. multiply, bestie 📈
  • div — the divider. divide, bestie 📉 (mult and div are literally a couple, iykyk)

🔥 RETURN 🔥

so what do you get back? you get:

a pointer to the clk_hw structure of the fixed factor clock that was registered — like, that's your clock, that's your baby, hold it carefully 🥹

or an error pointer. 😭 and if that happens, please check it. please. don't rawdog an error pointer, it will not end well. check with IS_ERR() or whatever, just don't ignore it 💀
