💅 intel_runtime_pm_put_raw(9) 💅

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a little guy with one job and it does it immaculately. bestie, we're releasing a raw runtime pm reference. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

intel_runtime_pm_put_raw — release a raw runtime pm reference

like, you took a reference earlier, and now you're giving it back. catch and release, but for power management 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void intel_runtime_pm_put_raw (struct intel_runtime_pm *rpm ,
       intel_wakeref_t wref );

she's void, she takes two things, she returns nothing. no notes. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rpm — the intel_runtime_pm structure. iconic struct, she's the whole context here 💜
  • wref — the wakeref acquired for the reference that is being released. yes, that one. the one you're putting back 😌

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so real talk: this function drops the device-level runtime pm reference that you got from intel_runtime_pm_get_raw. and here's the spicy part — if this happens to be the last reference, it might power down the corresponding hardware block right away. like, immediately. no waiting around, no "let me think about it". last one out, lights off 💀

so yeah, she's doing the cleanup for you, but she's also fully capable of cutting the power the second you let go. main character energy, honestly 🔥
