okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual π this is the page for devm_of_led_get, and honestly? it's giving "let the kernel clean up after you" and we are obsessed π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
devm_of_led_get β resource-managed request of a LED device π‘β¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
struct led_classdev * devm_of_led_get (struct device *dev , int index );
that's the whole vibe, no cap π
π ARGUMENTS π
devβ the LED consumer π like, the device that's gonna use the LEDindexβ index of the LED to obtain in the consumer π’ (which one you want, bestie)
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea β β the device node of the device gets parsed to find the requested LED device πβ¨. and the LED device that comes back from this function is automatically released on driver detach ππ like the kernel literally does the cleanup for you, main character energy fr fr.
it returns a pointer to a LED device, or ERR_PTR(errno) on failure π β so yeah, do the vibe check on that return value, iykyk.
ngl, always check for ERR_PTR(errno) β a failure is a failure, and pretending it isn't is not the move π
