💫 of_clk_get_from_provider(9) 💫

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual — it's of_clk_get_from_provider(9), and it's lowkey the little matchmaker that pairs a clock specifier up with an actual clock. let me walk you through it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

of_clk_get_from_provider — look up a clock from a clock provider 🌸

🔥 SYNOPSIS 🔥

struct clk * of_clk_get_from_provider (struct of_phandle_args *clkspec
);

like, it hands you back a struct clk * and takes one argument. that's it. that's the whole vibe ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • clkspec — a pointer to a clock specifier data structure 💅 that's the little data package you're handing over.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: this function goes and looks up a struct clk from the registered list of clock providers. it's giving matchmaker energy fr fr 👑

and the input? a clock specifier data structure — specifically the kind that comes back at you from the of_parse_phandle_with_args function call. that's the one to remember, iykyk ✨

so like: you bring the specifier, it finds the matching clock in the provider list, and everyone slays. no cap 💖

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

sooo much related lore, and honestly the whole gang showed up for this one. the kernel file to peek at is ./drivers/clk/clk.c — that's where the magic lives 🧚

that's the whole group chat, bestie — go say hi 💜

and that's the page!! 🎀 source is ./drivers/clk, dated October 2026, and this little slice of kernel API manual is officially done. go get that clock, queen 👑💅✨
