devm_pinctrl_put(9)

💅 devm_pinctrl_put(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual bestie ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is short but iconic, so let's go 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

devm_pinctrl_put — the resource-managed version of pinctrl_put(), no cap 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void devm_pinctrl_put (struct pinctrl *p );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p — the pinctrl handle to release. that's it, that's the whole argument, she's lowkey simple like that 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically this deallocates a struct pinctrl that you got from devm_pinctrl_get. 🫧

And here's the tea: normally you will not need to call this function at all — the resource management code is gonna handle it for you and make sure the resource gets freed. the devm machinery is literally doing the most so you don't have to 😭👑

ngl if you're out here manually calling this when you didn't have to, the resource management code is gonna look at you like 👀 — you're free to, but like… she already had it handled, bestie 🍓
