sci_clk_get(9)

💖 sci_clk_get(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — today's episode: sci_clk_get(9), or as I like to call it, the little xlate function that could ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sci_clk_get — the xlate function for getting clock handles, no cap 🕐💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct clk_hw * sci_clk_get (struct of_phandle_args *clkspec , void
*data );

literally the whole vibe right there, bestie 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• clkspec — the device tree clock specifier, aka the little note that says which clock we're talking about 🌈
• data — a pointer to the clock provider, the main character holding all the clock lore 👑

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so here's the tea: sci_clk_get is the xlate function for retrieving clock TI SCI hw clock handles based on a device tree clock specifier 🎯

it gets called from the common clock framework whenever a corresponding of_clk_get call is executed — so like, you don't call it, the framework calls it, iykyk 🧚

and what does it give you? a pointer to the TI SCI hw clock struct 💖 … or an ERR_PTR value if it fails 😭 (yes, failure is a whole mood, and it's an ERR_PTR one, fr fr)
