💅 devm_gpiod_put_array — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so you're in the Kernel API Manual and the star of the show today is devm_gpiod_put_array(9). buckle up 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

devm_gpiod_put_array — it's the resource-managed gpiod_put_array(), no cap 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void devm_gpiod_put_array (struct device *dev , struct gpio_descs *descs );

that's it, that's the whole signature, she's literally that simple 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the GPIO consumer. yeah, that's you, you're the consumer 💅
• descs — the GPIO descriptor array you're disposing of. bye bestie 👋

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so basically this disposes of an array of GPIO descriptors that you got with devm_gpiod_get_array. iconic behavior ⭐

but here's the tea 🔥: normally you will not call this function, because the GPIOs get disposed of by the resource management code. the resource management code is the main character here, and honestly? it's got it handled. periodt 💀

real talk bestie: if you're reaching for this one manually, double-check that the resource management code isn't already about to do it for you 🙈
