💅 irq_chip_pm_put(9) — dropping a PM ref like it's hot

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's literally about letting go of a power-management reference. we love a clean breakup 💔✨

🌸 NAME

irq_chip_pm_put — Drop a PM reference on an IRQ chip

✨ SYNOPSIS

void irq_chip_pm_put (struct irq_data *data );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• data — Pointer to interrupt specific data. that's the interrupt's little info bundle, and yes you gotta hand it over 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION

So here's the vibe: you're dropping a power management reference on the IRQ chip that's represented by the interrupt data structure. and where did that reference come from? from irq_chip_pm_get, obviously — you're just returning the favor 💅

⚠️ important note, bestie: this does not disable power to the IRQ chip until this function has been called for all IRQs that have called irq_chip_pm_get. and honestly? it may not disable power at all (like if user space prevents that, for example). so don't come for this function when the lights are still on 🙈
