rpmh_regula...optimum_mode(9)
β¨ rpmh_regulator_vrm_get_optimum_mode π
okay so bestie, this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual π β yes, that Kernel API Manual, the one with all the driver internals β and it's about one very specific little function. her full name is rpmh_regulator_vrm_get_optimum_mode (a mouthful, i know, she ate tho π
) and in the header it gets shortened to rpmh_regula...optimum_mode(9) because even manpages gotta truncate for the vibes. anyway. let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
rpmh_regulator_vrm_get_optimum_mode β literally just get the mode based on the load β¨ that's her whole job, that's the entire assignment, and she does it flawlessly π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
unsigned int rpmh_regulator_vrm_get_optimum_mode (struct regulator_dev
*rdev , int input_uV , int output_uV , int load_uA );
so yeah. she takes a struct regulator_dev * and three whole ints, and she hands you back an unsigned int. no cap, that's the signature, copy it exactly, i don't make the rules π
π ARGUMENTS π
rdevβ the regulator device pointer for therpmh-regulatorπ like, the actual device we're talking about here. main character energy fr.input_uVβ input voltage. yes bestie, in microvolts πoutput_uVβ output voltage. also volts-ish, also Β΅V-coded πload_uAβ the aggregated load current, measured in microamps β‘ note the word aggregated, she's not out here guessing, this is the combined number iykyk
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea β β this function is used in the regulator_ops for VRM type RPMh regulator devices. that's it. that's the whole description. she's a supporting cast member in the regulator_ops situation and she's thriving π
ngl it's giving "short but essential" and honestly? iconic. no further notes π§
π₯ RETURN π₯
0on success π- a negative error number on failure π (that's your standard kernel "something went wrong" vibe check, so watch for that negative, bestie)
π SEE ALSO π
go check these out, they're all in the same little friend group π«Ά:
- Kernel file
./drivers/regulator/qcom-rpmh-regulator.cπ (yes, the whole file, go read her) enum rpmh_regulator_type(9)enum regulator_hw_type(9)struct rpmh_vreg_hw_data(9)struct rpmh_vreg(9)struct rpmh_vreg_init_data(9)rpmh_regulator_send_request(9)rpmh_regulator_init_vreg(9)
like, the whole rpmh regulator cinematic universe tbh πβ
π and remember pookie β this is kernel API documentation, so the return value is real and the negative error number will absolutely find you if you ignore it. no cap.
πΈ that's the page!! it lives under ./drivers/regulator (that's the source/version situation π«Ά) and it's dated October 2026 β so she's a future icon, literally ahead of her time π
β¨ mwah, go ship some regulators bestie π
