💅 exynos5_dmc_switch_to_bypass_configuration — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is exynos5_dmc_switch_to_bypass_configuration. no cap, she's the one who flips the DMC into temporary bypass mode so the clocks don't have a whole meltdown. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

exynos5_dmc_switch_to_bypass_configuration — switching to temporary clock, literally her whole job 💫

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int exynos5_dmc_switch_to_bypass_configuration (struct exynos5_dmc *dmc
, unsigned long target_rate , unsigned long target_volt );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • dmc — the DMC device that's about to go through the switching. she's the one getting the glow-up ✨
  • target_rate — the new frequency that's gonna be set as a final. the destination, the finale, the after 🦋
  • target_volt — the new voltage that's gonna be set as a final. matching energy with target_rate, obvi 💜

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function configures the DMC and the clocks so everything can run in a temporary 'bypass' mode. it's giving backstage pass energy 🎟️

and like — this mode is used only temporarily, okay? only temporary. but if it's required, she also changes the voltage and the timings for the DRAM chips. she's multitasking, she's thriving, she's booked and busy 💅

the big flex: it switches the main clock over to a stable clock source for the entire period of the main PLL reconfiguration. stable clock source said "i got her" and honestly? iconic 👑

no cap, this is a temporary mode. don't get attached. she's passing through 🧚
