devm_gpiod_unhinge(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual entry for devm_gpiod_unhinge(9) — literally the function for removing resource management from a gpio descriptor. that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void devm_gpiod_unhinge (struct device *dev , struct gpio_desc *desc );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev — the GPIO consumer, aka the device side of this whole situation.
• desc — the GPIO descriptor you're removing resource management from. yep, that's the main character.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

⚠️ DEPRECATED 🚨 — this function should not be used, bestie. It's been provided as a workaround for resource ownership issues in the regulator framework and should be replaced with a better solution. no cap, that's the official tea. ☕

Remove resource management from a GPIO descriptor. This is needed when you want to hand over lifecycle management of a descriptor to another mechanism. it's giving “passing the aux cord” but for resource ownership. 🎧✨
