okay so real talk, bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (device_pm_add(9)) and it's short but it's important. Let me put you on. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

device_pm_add — literally adds a device to the PM core's list of active devices. That's it. That's the whole job. She's a one-task queen and she ate. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void device_pm_add (struct device *dev );

not me giving you the exact signature so you can't mess it up 💅 returns void, so no worrying about return values, she gives you nothing back and honestly? iconic.
