devm_pinctrl_get(9)

💖 devm_pinctrl_get(9) 💖

okay so welcome to the devm_pinctrl_get(9) page, bestie — this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's honestly a short one, but it's important, so stay with me 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

devm_pinctrl_get — the resource-managed version of pinctrl_get(). that's it, that's the vibe 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct pinctrl * devm_pinctrl_get (struct device *dev );

like, you hand it a device and it hands you back a struct pinctrl *. slay ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the device you're grabbing the handle for. that's the whole argument, no cap 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea: normally the devm family cleans up after itself automatically when your device goes away. but — and this is the important bit — if you find yourself needing to explicitly destroy the returned struct pinctrl, you should use devm_pinctrl_put, not plain pinctrl_put. fr fr, don't mix them up 😭

like literally, devm_pinctrl_put is the one that matches. using the non-devm pinctrl_put here is not the move, bestie 💀
