_regulator_h...umer_disable(9)

💅 _regulator_h...umer_disable(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, gather round, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's short but it ATE 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

_regulator_handle_consumer_disable — the one that handles the whole "a consumer just disabled" situation 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int _regulator_handle_consumer_disable (struct regulator *regulator );

like literally that's the whole signature, no cap ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• regulator — the regulator source 💜 that's it, that's the argument, she's the main character here

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So bestie, this one is the opposite of _regulator_handle_consumer_enable. That's the whole tea ☕ — it's the mirror-image function, the "she's back off" counterpart to the "she's on" one. Iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success 💖 (slay)
• a negative error number on failure 😭 (not slay, but at least it tells you)

ngl this page is short but she's doing her job. opposite of enable, returns 0 or a negative error, periodt. 👑

🎀 k bye bestie, this one's from ./drivers/regulator, dated October 2026 — and yes, same title, _regulator_h...umer_disable(9), we love a consistent footer 🦋✨
