ice_dpll_pin_freq_set(9)

💖 ice_dpll_pin_freq_set — setting a pin's frequency, bestie edition 💖

Okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel internals, iykyk) and it's literally the function that sets the frequency on a pin. That's it. That's the vibe. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_dpll_pin_freq_set — set pin's frequency 🎯

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ice_dpll_pin_freq_set (struct ice_pf *pf , struct ice_dpll_pin *pin
, enum ice_dpll_pin_type pin_type , const u32 freq , struct
netlink_ext_ack *extack );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pf — the private board structure. your main character struct, honestly 🫶
• pin — pointer to a pin 📌
• pin_type — type of pin being configured (yes they make you say it out loud, no cap)
• freq — the frequency to be set 🎚️
• extack — error reporting, aka the friend who tells you when something went wrong 😭

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Set the requested frequency on a pin. That's the whole assignment, and it ate. 💅🔥

---

💜 CONTEXT 💜

Called under pf->dplls.lock — locked and loaded, bestie. 🔒✨

---

👑 RETURN 👑

• 0 — success, slay 🎉
• negative — error on AQ or wrong pin type given 💀 (so like, check your pin type first, fr fr)
