πŸ’… zynqmp_pll_set_rate(9)

okay bestie, buckle up β€” this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific little function in drivers/clk/zynqmp/pll.c. yes, that ZynqMP PLL life. we're doing it. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

zynqmp_pll_set_rate β€” literally just, set the rate of the PLL. that's the whole gig. πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int zynqmp_pll_set_rate (struct clk_hw *hw , unsigned long rate ,
       unsigned long parent_rate );

three args in, one int out. no cap, that's it. ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • hw β€” the handle between the common clock interfaces and the hardware-specific ones. like the little bridge between vibes and silicon, iykyk 🫢
  • rate β€” the frequency of the clock you want to set. the goal. the dream. the number. πŸ”₯
  • parent_rate β€” the clock frequency of the parent clock. yes you have to know your ancestry, it's giving family tree but make it clocks 🌈

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so what does it actually do? it sets the PLL divider to set the desired rate. that's the whole description, bestie β€” it's short, it's sweet, it ate and left no crumbs. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ RETURN πŸ¦‹

on success you get back the rate that was set β€” like a little "yes queen, done" confirmation. and on failure? an error code. so check it, fr fr. 😭
