STRUCT MCHP_PIT64B_TIMER(9)

💖 struct mchp_pit64b_timer(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s literally all about struct mchp_pit64b_timer.

✨ NAME ✨

struct mchp_pit64b_timer — the PIT64B timer data structure. iconic little container, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here’s the whole struct, exactly as it is:

struct mchp_pit64b_timer {
    void __iomem    *base;
    struct clk      *pclk;
    struct clk      *gclk;
    u32 mode;
 };

💅 Members 💅

• base — base address of the PIT64B hardware block. that’s the address where the block lives, periodt.
• pclk — PIT64B's peripheral clock. yes bestie, the peripheral one.
• gclk — PIT64B's generic clock. the generic clock, not a drill 💀.
• mode — precomputed value for the mode register. already computed, ready to go, slay.
