ti_sci_cmd_get_clock_state(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ti_sci_cmd_get_clock_state — straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the TI SCI firmware layer (./drivers/firmware/ti_sci.c, we'll get there) and you just need to know what a clock is doing. That's it. That's the whole vibe. This little helper is your girl 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

ti_sci_cmd_get_clock_state — the get-clock-state helper, no cap. It's giving "just tell me the state of this clock" energy and honestly? Iconic.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ti_sci_cmd_get_clock_state (const struct ti_sci_handle *handle , u32 dev_id , u32 clk_id , u8 *programmed_state , u8 *current_state );

That's the whole signature, character for character, do not come for me 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • handle — pointer to the TI SCI handle. This is your main character, your entry pass to the whole SCI situation 💅
  • dev_id — the device identifier this request is for. Whose clock are we snooping on? This one.
  • clk_id — the clock identifier for the device for this request. Lowkey important detail: each device has its own set of clock inputs, and this indexes which clock input to modify. Yes, "modify" — that's literally what the original says, I'm not gonna pretend otherwise 🙈
  • programmed_state — the state requested for the clock to move to. Like, the state somebody asked for. The intended vibe.
  • current_state — the state the clock is currently in. The reality check. The vibe check, if you will ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 if all went well 😌 — otherwise it returns the appropriate error value 😭. So basically: zero is the slay, anything else is a "girl, check the error" moment.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./drivers/firmware/ti_sci.c — and literally the entire TI SCI extended family, because this function does not exist in isolation, bestie, it has connections 👑

Like I said. Connections. 🧚

And that's the page, bestie — go read your clock states responsibly 💜

Sign-off time 🎀 this one lives under ./drivers/firmware and it's dated October 2026, so yeah, it's got that cute little timestamp on it. Byeee ✨
