devm_clk_hw..._parent_data(9)

💅 NAME 💅

So the manual page is called devm_clk_hw..._parent_data(9) — that's the header, bestie, and this whole lil doc lives in the Kernel API Manual. The actual function is devm_clk_hw_register_gate_parent_data, and what it does is register a gate clock with the clock framework. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Iconic. 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

devm_clk_hw_register_gate_parent_data (dev , name , parent_data , flags
, reg , bit_idx , clk_gate_flags , lock );

okay so it literally takes eight arguments, no cap, we love a generous signature 🫶 every single one explained below, don't skip, i'll know 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the device that's registering this clock. like, who's the main character here? this guy. 👑
• name — name of this clock. gotta introduce her properly 💖
• parent_data — parent clk data. the parent situation, the family tree, the lore 🌈
• flags — framework-specific flags for this clock. ✨
• reg — register address to control gating of this clock. this is where the gating magic happens 📍
• bit_idx — which bit in the register controls gating of this clock. not just any bit, that bit. the chosen one 🎀
• clk_gate_flags — gate-specific flags for this clock. yes, different flags from the other flags. keep up bestie 😭
• lock — shared register lock for this clock. sharing is caring, and also thread safety is slay 💅
