📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 omap_hwmod_allocate_module — allocate new module 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for omap_hwmod_allocate_module, and yes the whole function name is a mouthful but we move 💖. It does exactly one thing and the NAME section said it in three words: allocate new module. Iconic, lowkey.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int omap_hwmod_allocate_module (struct device *dev , struct omap_hwmod
*oh , const struct ti_sysc_module_data *data , struct sysc_regbits
*sysc_fields , struct clockdomain *clkdm , s32 rev_offs , s32 sysc_offs
, s32 syss_offs , u32 sysc_flags , u32 idlemodes );

it's giving ten arguments, no cap. we don't gatekeep, here's every single one 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • dev — struct device 💻
  • oh — the module
  • data — module data
  • sysc_fields — sysc register bits
  • clkdm — clockdomain 🕰️
  • rev_offs — revision register offset
  • sysc_offs — sysconfig register offset
  • syss_offs — sysstatus register offset
  • sysc_flags — sysc specific flags 🚩
  • idlemodes — sysc supported idlemodes 😴

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, and it is important tea ☕: the allocations here cannot use devm, because ti-sysc can rebind. like, that's the whole note. no devm, periodt. Do not come for me with devm on this one. 💀

ngl this is the kind of caveat people skim and then spend a whole afternoon debugging. read it twice, bestie. 🍓

first up, the source of truth, iykyk: Kernel file ./arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap_hwmod.c 🌈

and now the full squad of cross-references, in the exact order the page gave them, no cutting corners 👑

like, that's the whole friend group and every single one of them got an invite 🧚💜

and that's the page!! it lives in ./arch/arm/mach-omap2, it's dated October 2026, and the source/version footer at the bottom of the original? that's the omap_hwmod_allocate_module(9) header from the Kernel API Manual on both ends — consider it shouted out 💅✨ go be obsessed with your sysc register bits, bestie, you got this 🌸🦋
