💅 mpc52xx_gpt_stop_timer(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes we're in the deep kernel lore today and honestly? iconic. this one's about telling a gpt to chill, and it's shorter than my attention span so let's go 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

mpc52xx_gpt_stop_timer — stop a gpt. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int mpc52xx_gpt_stop_timer (struct mpc52xx_gpt_priv *gpt );

like, you hand it a pointer to the gpt's private data and it gives you back an int. classic. 💜

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• gpt — pointer to the gpt private data structure. that's the little homie you're passing in — the private-data struct for this gpt. literally just a pointer, she's not complicated 💅

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the vibe check: this function stops a gpt.

but — and this is the important part, don't @ me — it returns an error if you're attempting to stop a wdt. like, if it's a watchdog timer you're trying to shut down? nope. error. that's the boundary and we respect it ✋😭

fr fr: the only documented failure case here is trying to stop a wdt. everything else is a stop-the-gpt situation. no invented lore, that's just what the page says 🍓
