ds1685_rtc_poweroff(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so, ds1685_rtc_poweroff — bestie, the whole entire job of this function is using the RTC chip to power the system off. that's it, that's the function 💅

and quick vibe check before we go any further: this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, so it's kernel-internal, deep-lore territory. iykyk 🫶
