drm_panel_put(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to drm_panel_put(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual name is folded in right here, you're welcome 💅. This one is all about releasing a panel reference, and it is iconic in its simplicity.

drm_panel_put — Release a panel reference.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void drm_panel_put (struct drm_panel *panel );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• panel — the DRM panel. That's the whole argument, no cap 🫶. It's the panel being reference-released, and that's the vibe.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Here's the tea: this function decrements the panel's reference count and frees the object if the reference count drops to zero. So when the count hits zero, the object gets freed. That's the whole plot, and it passes the vibe check 💀✨.
