of_clk_add_provider(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

Ok bestie, we’re in the Kernel API Manual and this page is all about of_clk_add_provider(9). What does it do? It registers a clock provider for a node. That’s the vibe. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int of_clk_add_provider (struct device_node *np , struct clk
*(*clk_src_get)(struct of_phandle_args *clkspec, void *data) , void
*data );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • np — Device node pointer associated with clock provider. That’s the node, bestie.
  • clk_src_get — callback for decoding clock. Yep, callback for decoding clock.
  • data — context pointer for clk_src_get callback. It’s the little context bag passed along.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Ok so listen: this function is deprecated. Not in a cute way — in the actual “please don’t start new stuff with this” way. Use of_clk_add_hw_provider instead. That’s the whole description, no cap. 💅

Like… bestie, I’m serious. Deprecated means deprecated. 😭
