💅 devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive_deasserted(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one is a whole mouthful of a function name and honestly it's giving "I ate and left no crumbs" energy, because it does two things at once. Let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive_deasserted — literally just reset_control_get_optional_exclusive() + reset_control_deassert() but with resource management sprinkled on top 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct reset_control *
devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive_deasserted (struct device *dev
, const char *id );

that's it, that's the whole vibe check 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — the device that's gonna get reset by the controller. it's the main character here fr fr 💖
  • id — the reset line name. yes, the name, not a number, we're being fancy 🌸

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So what we've got is a managed reset_control_get_optional_exclusive + reset_control_deassert combo meal 🍓 — lowkey the best of both worlds.

And here's the iconic part: for reset controllers returned from this function, reset_control_assert + reset_control_put gets called automatically on driver detach 😭 no cap, you don't have to clean up after yourself, the kernel does it for you. that's the devm magic, periodt 💅
