# clk\_disable(9)

inform the system when the clock source is no longer required.

## NAME

clk\_disable - inform the system when the clock source is no longer required.

## SYNOPSIS

**void clk\_disable(struct clk \*** *clk***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*clk*

clock source

## DESCRIPTION

Inform the system that a clock source is no longer required by a driver and may be shut down.

May be called from atomic contexts.

Implementation detail: if the clock source is shared between multiple drivers, **clk\_enable** calls must be balanced by the same number of **clk\_disable** calls for the clock source to be disabled.
