okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual โ€” yes we're in kernel territory and yes it's iconic. this little function is literally the PLL math girlie of the family ๐Ÿงฎโœจ


โœจ NAME โœจ

rt5677_pll_calc โ€” calculate the PLL M/N/K code. (the original page spells it "Calcualte" and honestly? relatable. we stan a typo ๐Ÿ‘‘)


๐ŸŒธ SYNOPSIS ๐ŸŒธ

int rt5677_pll_calc (const unsigned int freq_in , const unsigned int
       freq_out , struct rl6231_pll_code *pll_code );

๐Ÿฆ‹ ARGUMENTS ๐Ÿฆ‹

  • freq_in โ€” the external clock that's being fed to the codec. like, the clock coming in. the source. the origin story ๐Ÿ’–
  • freq_out โ€” the target clock the codec actually wants to work on. the glow-up destination โญ
  • pll_code โ€” pointer to a structure holding the M, N, K, the bypass K flag and the bypass M flag. that's five little fields living their best life together ๐Ÿซถ

๐Ÿ’œ DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿ’œ

so what does it do? it calculates the M/N/K code and the bypass K/M flag so you can configure the PLL for the codec. that's the whole vibe. no cap ๐Ÿ”ฅ

and the return situation: it returns 0 for success, or a negative error code if things didn't slay ๐Ÿ˜ญ

heads up bestie โ€” negative error code means something went wrong, so please actually check the return value. i'm begging ๐Ÿ™ˆ

bestie that's the whole page, mwah ๐Ÿ’‹ this came out of ./sound/soc/codecs back in October 2026, so jot that down in your notes app ๐Ÿ“ โ€” you're welcome, periodt ๐Ÿ’…โœจ
