💅 icc_clk_register(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — today's episode is all about icc_clk_register(9), no cap. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

---

✨ NAME ✨

icc_clk_register — register a brand new clk-based interconnect provider. yes queen, you're making a provider. it's giving main character energy 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct icc_provider * icc_clk_register (struct device *dev , unsigned
int first_id , unsigned int num_clocks , const struct icc_clk_data *data
);

literally the whole vibe right there. four args, one pointer back. slay ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the device that's supporting this provider. like, the provider's ride-or-fail. 🫶
• first_id — an ID of the first provider's node. the og id, the one that starts the countdown.
• num_clocks — how many instances of struct icc_clk_data you've got. count 'em, bestie.
• data — the data for the provider. the actual substance. the lore. 📦

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this function registers and returns a clk-based interconnect provider. cute, right?

it's a simple wrapper around the COMMON_CLK framework — which means it lets other devices vote on the clock rate. 🗳️✨ like democracy but for clocks. the way that works is genuinely iconic.

---

🎀 RETURN 🎀

0 on success — ate, no notes 💅 — or an error code otherwise 😭

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Kernel file ./drivers/interconnect/icc-clk.c
• icc_clk_unregister(9) — because what registers must eventually unregister, periodt 🦋

---

ngl bestie, if you're messing with interconnect providers and you skip the unregister, that's on you 💀

---

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🧚‍♀️💖 this lil gem lives in ./drivers/interconnect, dated October 2026, and it's part of the same Kernel API Manual we screamed about at the top. byeee, go register something iconic 👑🌸
