🌸 NAME 🌸

zl3073x_chan_tie_write — adjust DPLL phase using TIE write 🦋

like, that's the whole vibe. you're nudging the phase. iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int zl3073x_chan_tie_write (struct zl3073x_dev *zldev , u8 ch , s64
delta_ns );

that's the whole signature, character for character, don't @ me 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • zldev — pointer to zl3073x device. it's the device, it's the moment, it's giving main character energy 🔥
  • ch — DPLL channel index. which channel are we talking to, bestie? 👑
  • delta_ns — phase adjustment in nanoseconds. must be in (-1s, 1s) — that range is non-negotiable fr fr 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works: it converts nanoseconds to TIE units (that's 0.01 ps, tiny tiny units, literally microscopic energy 🧚) and then writes that TIE data to the specified channel. slay.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 🎉
  • <0 on error 😭
