i2c_of_probe_simple_cleanup(9)

💅 i2c_of_probe_simple_cleanup(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for i2c_of_probe_simple_cleanup — the cleanup half of the I2C OF prober simple helpers. yes, it's a whole saga, and this is the part where we tidy up and let things go 🧹✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

i2c_of_probe_simple_cleanup — clean up and release resources for I2C OF prober simple helpers. it's giving "end of study session, pack your bag, turn off the lamp" energy 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i2c_of_probe_simple_cleanup (struct device *dev , void *data );

literally that's it. no return value, it just goes in, tidies, and leaves. no cap 💅 (copy it exactly like that if you're typing it out, spaces and all — the manpage says what it says.)

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — pointer to the struct device of the caller. heads up: it's only used for dev_printk messages. that's its whole job, it's the designated messenger 📣
• data — pointer to the struct i2c_of_probe_simple_ctx helper context. this is the actual bag of stuff we're cleaning up 🎒

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the to-do list, and honestly it's short and slay:

• GPIO line check 🎀 — if a GPIO line was found and it was not yet released, set its value to the opposite of whatever was set in i2c_of_probe_simple_enable, then release it. yes, opposite. we put it back how we found it, we're polite like that 🫶
• Regulator check ⭐ — if a regulator supply was found, disable that regulator and release it. bye bestie, thanks for the power 🔌

lowkey important: these are conditional, okay? if the GPIO line was found and not yet released → flip + release. if a regulator supply was found → disable + release. no found-thing, no cleanup-thing. the manpage doesn't promise anything beyond that, and neither do I 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./drivers/i2c/i2c-core-of-prober.c — the source, go read it, it's iconic 👑
• i2c_of_probe_component(9) ⭐
• i2c_of_probe_simple_enable(9) — the enable half, the one we're undoing 💜
• i2c_of_probe_simple_cleanup_early(9) — yes there's an early cleanup too, main character energy runs in the family ✨

and that's the page, bestie 🦋 sign-off time: this one lives under ./drivers/i2c, dated October 2026, and it's i2c_of_probe_simple_cleanup(9) all the way down. periodt 💅🎀
