📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 omap3_core_dpll_save_context(9) 🎀

okay so real quick, bestie — this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're being fancy today ✨), and it's a <pink>kernel API</pink> page, which basically means it's for people writing kernel code, not for you at your laptop being like "why won't it compile." iykyk 💜

🌸 NAME 🌸

omap3_core_dpll_save_context — bestie, it saves the m and n values of the divider. that's it, that's the whole job 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int omap3_core_dpll_save_context (struct clk_hw *hw );

it returns an int, it takes one pointer, it's giving "small function, big responsibility." periodt 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to a struct clk_hw. literally just a pointer. that's the entire argument, she's low maintenance 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe check 👑: before the dpll registers are lost (yes, lost, like your airpods in the couch 😭), this function saves the last rounded rate's m and n and the enable mask. so it's basically backing up the important stuff before the registers ghost us 🙈

no cap, that's the whole description. it does what it says on the tin, and it does it well. iconic behavior honestly ⭐

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

so these are all the friends in the group chat, and you will be meeting all of them, no skipping 😤💖 — they all live in the Kernel file ./drivers/clk/ti/dpll3xxx.c:

like, twenty-four whole functions. she has a lot of mutuals. slay 💀✨

ngl bestie, this page is short and sweet and I love that for us. go read those SEE ALSOs though, they're not gonna read themselves 🫶

and that's the wrap! 🎀 this one's from ./drivers/clk/ti, dated October 2026 — so when you're reading it, just know the ti clock crew signed off on it and we're all very grateful. bye bestie, mwah 💖💅🌟
