_idle(9)

💅 _idle(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💅

okay so this page is _idle(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving “tiny function, very specific job.” No cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

_idle — idle an omap_hwmod

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int _idle (struct omap_hwmod *oh );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• oh — struct omap_hwmod *

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

_idle idles an omap_hwmod oh. Call it once the hwmod has no further work — like, the work is done and it can actually chill. 😌

If the hwmod is in the wrong state, it returns -EINVAL; otherwise it returns 0. That's the whole vibe check: wrong state = -EINVAL, good state = 0. 💅
