✨ spi_mem_adjust_op_freq(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for spi_mem_adjust_op_freq(9) β€” yes that's the whole name, yes it's a mouthful, no we're not shortening it πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

spi_mem_adjust_op_freq β€” adjusts the frequency of a SPI mem operation so it matches what the controller, the PCB and the chip can actually handle 🫢


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void spi_mem_adjust_op_freq (struct spi_mem *mem , struct spi_mem_op *op );

like… that's it. that's the whole signature. no return value, no drama, just vibes ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • mem β€” the SPI memory. the main character, lowkey πŸ‘‘
  • op β€” the operation to adjust. this is the one getting a little glow-up πŸ’…

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so here's the tea: some chips have per-op frequency limitations and they must adapt their maximum speed. not optional, not a suggestion β€” it's giving "respect my limits" energy 😭

this function is the glow-up station πŸ’« β€” it lets SPI mem drivers set op->max_freq to the maximum supported value. that's the whole job. get in, set the max freq, get out, slay πŸ”₯

ngl this one's short but it's iconic. small function, big responsibility πŸŽ€

and that's the whole page bestie, no cap πŸ’œ this little baddie lives over in ./drivers/spi, stamped October 2026, and yes β€” it's still spi_mem_adjust_op_freq(9) all the way down to the footer. periodt. πŸ’…βœ¨
