devm_devfreq_add_governor(9)

💅 devm_devfreq_add_governor — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

Okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of devfreq governors 🎀 This is the devm_devfreq_add_governor(9) page and it's literally about adding a devfreq governor, but the managed way. Let's get into it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

devm_devfreq_add_governor — add a devfreq governor, no cap 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int devm_devfreq_add_governor (struct device *dev , struct
       devfreq_governor *governor );

Look at her. Returning an int, taking a struct device * and a struct devfreq_governor *. Iconic signature, tbh 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the device that's adding the devfreq governor. Like, this is the one doing the adding 💁‍♀️
• governor — the actual devfreq governor to be added. The main character of this whole function, fr fr ⭐

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the vibe check: this is a resource-managed variant of devfreq_add_governor. That's it, that's the whole thing — the devm_ prefix means managed, and it does the same job as its non-managed twin 💅
