🌸 NAME 🌸

it821x_clock_strategy — bestie, the original one-line description is literally blank after the dash, so this is a “the name says it all” situation 😭💅

This is the it821x_clock_strategy(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and we’re about to make it make sense 🫶✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void it821x_clock_strategy (struct ata_port *ap , struct ata_device *adev );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• ap — the ATA interface, aka the port in question 🌀
• adev — the ATA device that’s being updated ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so picture this: the function has to select between the 50 and 66Mhz base clocks to get the best results for this interface. That’s literally the whole assignment, no cap 💅 The way it’s just clock strategy and nothing else… iconic.
