💖 of_clk_init(9) 💖

okay bestie, so this one is from the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely iconic — it's the function that goes and wakes up all your clock providers from the device tree ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

of_clk_init — scan and init clock providers from the DT

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void of_clk_init (const struct of_device_id *matches );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • matches — an array of compatible values and the init functions for the providers, matched up all cute together 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way this works is: of_clk_init scans the device tree looking for clock providers that match, and then it calls their initialization functions. slay.

and the extra iconic part? it also does this by trying to follow the dependencies 💅 like it's not just gonna blindly init stuff, it traces the vibe-check chain, iykyk.
