rzv2h_cpg_get_pll_pars(9)
π rzv2h_cpg_get_pll_pars(9) β or, how to find the perfect PLL parameters π
okay bestie, so this is a page from the kernel API manual β section 9, obviously β and it's about one function in the clock world. yes, we're being technical and cute at the same time, it's called range π
β¨ NAME β¨
rzv2h_cpg_get_pll_pars β literally finds the best combination of PLL parameters for a given frequency. that's the whole vibe. that's the job. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
bool rzv2h_cpg_get_pll_pars (const struct rzv2h_pll_limits *limits ,
struct rzv2h_pll_pars *pars , u64 freq_millihz );
like, that's the signature, don't come for me about it, it's exactly like this β¨
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
limitsβ a pointer to the structure holding all the limits</> for the PLL parameters. this is the rules of the game, bestie. respect them.parsβ a pointer to the structure where the best calculated PLL parameter values get stored. it's the output seat. the main character of storage. πfreq_millihzβ the target output frequency, measured in millihertz. yes, millihertz. that's a lot of hertz, ngl π
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea: this function calculates the best set of PLL parameters β and those are M, K, P, S, iconic quadruple, no cap β to hit the desired frequency. π―
and the reason it's iterating instead of just doing math is honestly so valid: there's no direct formula to calculate the PLL parameters, because it's an open system of equations. so instead of a one-line glow-up, this function goes the iterative route to determine the best solution. π§
and what counts as "best"? a solution that minimizes the error β as in desired frequency - actual frequency. that's the metric, that's the moment, that's the whole point. periodt. π
π₯ RETURN π₯
trueβ a valid set of parameter values was found. slay. βfalseβ otherwise, bestie. no valid set. it's giving "try again" π

β friendly reminder that this is the kernel API β the details here are exact and copy-paste-able for a reason. keep the names, keep the types, keep the vibes π
and that's a wrap, bestie π β brought to you by ./drivers/clk/renesas, dated October 2026, and this little manpage is rzv2h_cpg_get_pll_pars(9) signing off. mwah! πβ¨π
